The Browning Version (1994) (1994) |

As the term comes to an end at the private boys' school, the Abbey, the classics master Andrew Crocker-Harris (Albert Finney) is also coming to the end of his long teaching career. Looking back on over two decades in the school, Crocker-Harris realises that his entire life has been one of dismal failure. He has not been able to inspire the boys with his love of classical literature, his popular and attractive wife (Greta Scacchi) is having an affair with a younger master (Matthew Modine) and he faces a retirement of loneliness and ignominy. Then the gift of the Browning version of Agamemnon by one of his pupils provides an unexpected source of inspiration and the hope of happiness to come.
