The Browning Version (1951 film)

The Browning Version is a 1951 British film based on the 1948 play of the same name by Terence Rattigan. It was directed by Anthony Asquith and starred Michael Redgrave.

The emotional turningpoint for the cold CrockerHarris is his pupil Taplows unexpected parting gift, Robert Brownings translation of the Agamemnon, which he has inscribed with the Greek phrase that translates as God from afar looks graciously upon a gentle master.Rattigan extends the screenplay far from his own oneact play, which ends on CrockerHarriss tearful reaction to Taplows gift. Therefore, the play ends well before CrockerHarriss farewell speech to the school the film shows the speech, in which he discards his notes and admits his failings, to be received with warm applause and cheers by the boys. The film ends with a conversation between CrockerHarris and Taplow, and the suggestion that CrockerHarris will complete his translation of the Agamemnon. ........
