Near the end, when the doctor and the portrait painter speak about Francesca getting married, the painter is told he needs Mason's permission. She was 17 when she moved in with Mason and it's now 10 years later. At 27, she no longer needs his permission since she is now of age. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

This is a true classic. If you can appreciate a film as a work of art, regardless of whether it represents the genre you like, then this will be in your list of great movies. Like all movies about relationships between men and woman, it will be open season for the kooks trying to work off their own personal problems, but take it at its face value. Ignore the political correctness parasites and appreciate the movie.
James Mason's portrayal of a man who was hiding from the world but eventually found something to bring him back into it - a flawed but selfless love - is a work of genius. Ann Todd is excellent also, as the young girl who becomes a famous pianist under his direction. Herbert Lom, playing the character role of a psychiatrist, is brilliant.
It is a melodrama, but very, very well done, with great acting.
