Valentine's Day: The Passionate Friends (1949)
Academy's Valentines Day screening for 2022 is the swooning, gorgeous 1949 David Lean melodrama THE PASSIONATE FRIENDS. A major influence on Paul Thomas Anderson's THE PHANTOM THREAD!

Todd plays Mary, a heartbroken wife torn between the security of her husband (Claude Rains) and her lasting love for a man she hasn't spoken to in nine years (Trevor Howard, in a role reminiscent of his star turn in Lean's BRIEF ENCOUNTER).
