The End of the Affair (1955)
Member Rating:  
Recently freed from his MGM contract, Van Johnson headed to England to star in a series of pictures, the first of which was The End of the Affair. Adapted by Lenore Coffee from the novel by Graham Greene, the film casts Johnson as Maurice Bendrix, the clandestine lover of married Briton Sarah Miles (Deborah Kerr). When Maurice disappears during the London blitz, Sarah feels responsible; perhaps if she hadn't been cheating on her husband Henry (Peter Cushing), Maurice might never have been placed in harm's way. She gets down on her knees and prays, promising to return to her husband and give up Maurice if her lover's life is spared. The film's title rather gives the game away. The best performance is delivered by John Mills, as an affable private detective hired by Henry Miles to check up on Sarah's whereabouts. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I think you had a different movie in the sleeve. This movie was not suitable for my residents to watch in fact they took the movie out. Van Johnson was not even in this film, he was suppose to be in it. This movie that we were sent was a rated r or worse.I would not let children see such a movie and it says suitable for children.

While the acting is decent, the scriptwriter must have been in a horrible mood when he wrote this movie. The plot seems to strive for the perfection of "Now, Voyager" without that movie's finesse or emotional bond between the lead characters. Not worth it.
