In this second film version of Terence Rattigan's 1948 play, Albert Albert Finney plays the old schoolmaster who is being retired to make way for more up-to-date courses rather than the Greek and Latin taught by the old, unloved master. Meanwhile, his wife (Greta Scacchi) is having an affair, which adds to his despair. This is a change of pace for director Mike Figgis, and he does a respectable job in painting a picture of changing from the old ways to the new.
