I did a colorized version. It is not great entertainment in mono, so a bit of colour, I think, makes it less miserable and flat. The problem with the film, from my view, is Ann Todd is virtually an emotionless robot. Oddly, in real life she was tremendous fun and endearingly mischievous, but once she started acting, she became a text to speech machine.

The Passionate Friends is a 1949 British romantic drama film directed by
David Lean and starring Ann Todd, Claude Rains and Trevor Howard. The film is based on The Passionate Friends: A Novel (1913) by H. G. Wells. It describes a love triangle in which a woman cannot give up her affair with another man.
