One thing I like about British dramas and comedies is that they are subtle and let you slide into the understanding by paying close attention to detail, unlike American films that have to beat you over the head so you'll be sure to get it.

I've watched this entire movie so many many times and will watch it again and again. This last scene is one of my two favorites. The other is when Sir Robert looks up from the floor to Catherine in the gallery and she leans forward to look back at him. The subtlety throughout this movie is precious, which I love about British movies. Great acting, too.

Great ending. The way he looks at her whenever she turns her back to him. So difficult, as she rightly points out, for him to divulge his true emotions. But he's clearly taken with her and sees her as a force to be reckoned with. It's why he feels he can tease her about her hat, or how he calls her activism a "lost cause." He doesn't believe it, or course. But he knows that saying it will rile her up and elicit a response, which is what he wants.

I love, love, love the ending of this film!

Acting does'nt get much bettter than this.. Superb....!

It is a delight to hear the English language spoken so beautifully. I put this on a par with Olivier and Garson in "Pride and Prejudice" and Garson and Colman in "Random Harvest"

One of my favorite scenes ever. Thanks for posting!

Amazing performances by the cast members, one of my favorite films.

SO romantic ... 'How little you know of men' (or a line like that) was how Sir Robert Morton ended his triste to Miss Winslow at the garden gate.. Wonderful actors, wonderful acting.

I have this movie and I believe the last second was the essence of real Victorian class and style. Notice he doesn't look at her when he says 'do you think so Miss Winslow,[one second pause] how little you know about men.'This dialogue of course was not there in the original Terence Rattigan play. Everything is implied without being shouting about from the rooftops ... And the understanding smile on the face of Kate Winslow- marvellous. Fabulous piece of direction. If anyone finds this DVD please do add it to your collection -it is a classic. I put it on whenever I am feeling blue just to hear the theme music.

This final scene and the final words are perfect. "How little you know about men..."

Such a jewel of.a movie. Jeremy Northam should have been nominated for a Best Supporting Actor award at the Oscars.

Have any noticed how "Elgarian" the credits and opening music is?.....how wonderfully Edwardian in type and affection.

Miss Winslow and Sir Robert would never be a conventional couple: they are anima & animus.

"AND I FULLY INTEND TO HAVE CURRIE CENSURED FOR REVEALING A CONFIDENCE!!!"

Easy to do justice, hard to do right.

I love the incidental counter when sparks fly between two fantastic people grow in front of your very eyes. "How we know about each other and yet we pretend how we playable the actor in each of us....plays along the short story within the great play of life. Who writes all these supercilious words without true intent until the Director I stills the emotional intent.and the grand producer put up the money and tells the audience you that you will love it when you will, because it's about you.

I like the same scene from the movie with same name with Robert Donat. He was wonderful.

The only surprise and disappointment for me is Sir Robert didn't reveal his affection to Kate at the very end. Jeremy Northam reminds me of Collin Firth. Both are adorable actors, handsome as well.

I watched this film just to improve my english vocabulary.

Lovely scene...Did he feel unwell all day because he knew of Desmond's plan to ask Catherine to marry him? That would be so cute!!!!

Did anyone notice the soundtrack? Very "Elgarian" sounding.....just perfect for this period piece......

I like the fact that Dickie, which I will assume is a nickname for Richard, is always called Dickie but no one would dare call Catherine, Cathy. That right there tells you who is more respected among the children.

HABRÀSE VISTO UNA ESCENA MÀS ATRACTIVA, MÀS SUGERENTE, MÀS INGENIOSA, Y JEREMY NORTHAM TAN ATRACTIVO ! TODA LA PELÌCULA ES ESPLÈNDIDA, LÀSTIMA QUE NO LA DIERON EN CINES, CREO, YO LA VI POR CABLE. EL CINE INGLÈS EN SU MEJOR EXPRESIÒN, CÒMO SE EXTRAÑA ESAS BUENAS MANERAS, ESOS IDEALES !

that last bit is so cute i almost forgive him for being so sexist

I wonder did Sir Robert truly believe what she was fighting for was a lost cause or was he just saying it to get under her skin to shock her about his true feelings which is where her look of surprise . In her mind. How can a man who is honorable but believe what I stand for is a lost cause but still wants to have me.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Let right be done.....

Un buen final para una buena pelicula

I didn’t do it

She had preconceived ideas about 'Sir Robert Morton' before she even met him, then she gets to see him in action and has a new found respect. He likes her from the moment he see's her when he takes time to look at her in the mirror in his rooms. She is very self possessed with lots of confidence and the respect of her parents .. she is not a 'young' woman. He is drawn to her because she has ideals and ambition to be 'across the floor' in the house of commons. She is unaware of his feelings for her until the very end when he tells her he likes her saying he will see her again if he has his way 'how little she knows about men'. A David and Goliath story of the boy and the powers that be interwoven with a beautiful love story. I would have loved a sequel of these two moving forward in their relationship set against the backdrop of women's rights and the constrictions of the time, how his love for her would show in his support against the struggles of his own standing in the legal community etc. would been fascinating.

Not close to the charm and convincing acting of the original.
