The End of the Affair (1955)
During WW2, Deborah Kerr falls in love with a soldier. The only trouble is, she’s already married to Peter Cushing, and her husband is friends with her lover, Van Johnson. As evident by the title, Deborah and Van’s love affair ends, but the question remains as to why.
This film was remade in 1999, but I prefer the original version, since I find Deborah Kerr more likable than Julianne Moore. Also, even though John Mills isn’t the lead in the 1955 version, he classes up any movie he’s in, so that’s also a bonus to watching the original. I won’t spoil the plot and tell you the reason behind The End of the Affair, but I will say the film focuses on a range of emotions that coincide with infidelity: guilt, resentment, hope, and fear. There’s also a strong religious element to the film, one that really makes you think after the movie’s over. In a way, it’s more of a thoughtful film than a romance. While this isn’t a very good choice to watch with your sweetie pie, feel free to watch it by yourself and think about what really matters in life.
