A writer reflects on his affair with a married woman during the Second World War
This drama is based on the 1951 novel of the same name by author Graham Greene which had itself already been adapted into a film in 1955 (qv). There is a brief shot of the stairs down to the ticket hall at Maida Vale Underground station, and a very unusual aerial shot of a steam-hauled train passing through a bombed cityscape. There is also a scene filmed in the ticket hall of Arnos Grove Underground station. In addition, there are a couple of brief scenes filmed onboard a train, but it is not known where these were filmed.
