Lovely hidden British treasure

A lovely little film that no one seems to know about. I didn't either, and I'm a huge British classic film buff! Deborah Kerr and Robert Donat give thoughtful, engaging performances as the British couple who's marriage is going stale in a cramped London flat. Then Donat is called up to service and Kerr becomes a WREN in WW2, and the couple change their outlook on life enormously, and separately. They begin to question whether or not they want to be together, and feel like "perfect strangers" when they meet up on Donat's 10 day leave. An incredibly honest film about marriage and change, this features lovely work from the leads (I don't think Kerr and Donat have ever been so gorgeous as in their later scenes together), and great supporting work from the likes of an incredibly modern Glynis Johns and a beautiful Ann Todd. See it
