Never forgot it. Forgot the title, tho-knew it had the word: TRIAL--in it-then thanks to your page--there it was! For years I've ben babbling to friends and film rental folks--I'd get the cold fish eye! Fie--on them! Olivier at his best--when wasn't he? And-Simone Signoret as his slatternly "fish wife"--how she must have lapped up that role. Sarah Miles as the young student from the slums who suddenly understands what her teacher (Oliver) has been trying to teach her about being a person of noble character. Oooh! I'm getting emotional chills-just thinking of the last scene. Sir Laurence-besotted with love for his evil wife-is lying on his side-fully dressed-on their bed. He is looking directly into the camera--at us. She is packing to leave him but if he will admit to a LIE--she will remain. He admits to the lie-his degradation complete--his eyelids drooping--fadeout. Chloe
