Product InformationAndrew Crocker-Harris (Albert Finney), a teacher of Greek and Latin at a traditional English prep school, is called the "Hitler of the Lower Sixth" by his students. His rigidity and cruelty are the sad remnants of an extinguished passion for classical literature. But as he is poised to leave the school--forced into retirement by the headmaster and made ridiculous by the infidelities of his wife Laura (Greta Scacchi)--Crocker-Harris finds his love for learning rekindled by the interest and sympathy of a young student named Taplow (Ben Silverstone), who gives him Robert Browning's translation of Aeschylus' AGAMEMNON as a parting gift. Based on a Terence Rattigan play, THE BROWNING VERSION is a character study that finds pathos in British stodginess and makes a subdued plea for the nobility of teaching. Finney is the powerful center of the film, portraying a man whom time and opportunity have passed by. As humiliations are piled upon his character, Finney registers nothing but silent resignation, even as he ratchets up his stoicism to face the next disappointment.Product IdentifiersUPC0097363288145eBay Product ID (ePID)3428090Product Key FeaturesRatingRMovie/TV TitleBrowning VersionDirectorMike FiggisFormatDVDRelease Year2003GenreDramaAdditional Product FeaturesRegion CodeRegion 1Number of Discs1Country/Region of ManufactureUnited KingdomLeafCats617Leading RoleAlbert Finney, Greta Scacchi, Matthew ModineFilm CountryUnited KingdomRelease Date20031014
