This is a book for all those who have been absorbed and moved by
Brief Encounter in the seventy or so years since its first
appearance. It explores the central relationship of the film, where
two people who fall unexpectedly in love come to realise that there
is more to life than self-gratification. Mores have undoubtedly
changed, for better or worse, but that essential moral choice has
never lost its power. While acknowledging this, the book goes
further in an effort to account for the way the film has passed
into the wider culture. People born decades after its first
appearance are now adept at picking up references to it, whether a
black-and-white scene in a much later film or a passing joke about
a bald man in a barber's shop. -- .
