The Astonished Heart

Directed by Antony Darnborough and Terence Fisher

With Celia Johnson, Noël Coward, Margaret Leighton, Joyce Carey and Graham Payn

Several years after graduation, best friends Barbara (Celia Johnson) and Leonora (Margaret Leighton) reconnect as if not a day has gone by. But Leonora could do without Barbara's husband, Christian (Noel Coward), whom she finds arrogant and off-putting ... at first. One evening alone together, romance is set ablaze, leaving Christian with a lot of explaining to do to Barbara.
