Originally a Graham Greene novel, this wartime story has been made into movies several times over the years; this first time is from 1955, with Van Johnson and Deborah Kerr. Johnson is the writer Bendrix, who falls for a friend's wife Sarah (Kerr). It takes place during the London air-raids of WW II, and Sarah's husband is right nearby the whole time. We know it can't end well, but we go along for the ride. We keep hearing how temporary and uknown things are during wartime... it's good! a tad philosophical, since war is so dangerous, combined with the danger and emotions of falling in love with another's spouse. Directed by Edward Dmytryk, who had directed a WIDE range of film genres, several of them war films. Probably his best known project was Murder my Sweet!
