Sophia Loren and Richard Burton begin an arduous love affair after a chance meeting at a train station. First they meet once a week during breaks at their respective jobs, gradually becoming more emotionally involved. When they finally decide to meet for sex at a friends apartment, they are awkwardly interrupted. They keep meeting and even contemplate leaving their respective partners, but never consummate the relationship and eventually part. Some interesting ruminations on the meaning of love, handsomely shot in the English countryside, but never quite escapes its stage origins and of course pales in comparison to the David Lean classic.
