BRIEF ENCOUNTER 1955 Trevor Howard, David Lean 10x8 STILL

Original 10 inch x 8 inch Still of TREVOR HOWARD standing in Regent’s Park Lake, Long Bridge in London in the 1945 David Lean Romantic Drama BRIEF ENCOUNTER, based on the one-act play “Still Life” by Noël Coward.

After a chance meeting on a train platform, a married doctor (Trevor Howard) and a suburban housewife (Celia Johnson) begin a muted but passionate, and ultimately doomed, love affair. With its evocatively fog-enshrouded setting, swooning Rachmaninoff score, and pair of remarkable performances (Johnson was nominated for an Oscar), this film deftly explores the thrill, pain, and tenderness of an illicit romance, and has influenced many a cinematic brief encounter since its release.

The still is in very good condition with a crease in the upper left corner.
