white_hartThe current programme on Radio 4 (which appears to be about optimism and the reverse) just featured a film historian who appeared to think that the ending of Brief Encounter was utterly downbeat.
Personally, I have always thought that if she'd run off with Trevor Howard they'd only have ended up bickering after six months and hating the sight of each other after a year, and that going back to the kind if slightly dull husband was the right decision. This probably says a lot about me. And, indeed, about the film historian who clearly felt she should have run off with Trevor Howard.
