View submission: What’s your favourite old British film?

View parent comment

I adore Brief Encounter and watched it recently, but one of my favourite things about it is this behind the scenes story from a David Lean biography about Trevor Howard resolutely Not Getting It and asking “Why doesn’t he fuck her?” https://www.reddit.com/r/criterion/s/7hBw6Zw3XA

Despite that he still made it in to the BFI’s top 2 British films of all time.
