“A daring experiment in love!”
Drama, Romance · 1h 25m
Several years after graduation, best friends Barbara (Celia Johnson) and Leonora (Margaret Leighton) reconnect as if not a day has gone by.

One evening alone together, romance is set ablaze, leaving Christian with a lot of explaining to do to Barbara.
