BRIEF ENCOUNTER

British Quad (30" x 40"); Country-of-Origin
Very Fine on Linen
Eagle Lion, 1945

This is a very scarce poster that has been professionally linen-backed. It has undergone minor airbrushing around the edges and credits at the bottom. There is also sporadic airbrushing within the blue title field. Interestingly, this poster was printed on the back of an uncut set of two post-war Winston Churchill posters that said, "Vote United."

David Lean directed Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard in this beautiful and sad story of a doomed love affair between a married doctor and a suburban housewife who have a chance meeting on a train platform in post-war London. Adapted by Noel Coward from his play "Still Life," "Brief Encounter" opened to widespread critical acclaim. The film received three Academy Award nominations for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actress (Johnson). Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 was used for the soundtrack to significant effect.
