Scorpion Releasing has announced that it is preparing a Blu-ray release of Alan Bridges's Brief Encounter (1974), starring Richard Burton, Sophia Loren, Jack Hedley, Rosemary Leach, and John Le Mesurier. The release, which will be distributed by Kino Lorber, is expected to arrive on the market in early May.
Synopsis: When doctor Alec Harvey (Richard Burton) helps Anna Jesson (Sophia Loren) get something out of her eye on a train platform, neither suspects they are initiating an affair. Both are married with children and believe their impulse to meet again is completely innocent. But one meeting leads to several, and soon their mutual attraction becomes undeniable. They attempt an unsuccessful tryst in a friend's apartment and, increasingly scared of being discovered, decide to call it off.
*In the United States, the classic Brief Encounter is already out on Blu-ray via the Criterion Collection. To see our review of this release, please click here.
