Jack Wonder
5.0 out of 5 stars A touching re-working of 'The Oresteia'
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2012
Rattigan, this most subtle and Chekhovian of English playwrights, is moving because, in some way, the play is an unfinished symphony. The reader and the audience put the finishing touches... Read it and watch the film with Albert Finney!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Browning Version Book

I enjoyed the book, but this is one of the rare times when I enjoyed the movie more. Especially the movie with Michael Redgrave. I think he did an excellent job in his role. Actually, I think all of the actors did an excellent job of acting. I recommend you see the movie. I always show the movie to my friends and family.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Pitiliess Pitied.
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2014
Rattigan liked to focus on the pitiless pitied; still, he had a great (though now out of fashion) talent for structure, style, character and conventional exposition. It is what makes his plays so enjoyable. Andrew Crocker-Harris is Mr Chipping without the charm, Mr Kotter without the humour and Miss Brodie without the balls. He has been played by Eric Portman, Michael Redgrave, Albert Finney and others but few have got his essential character entirely right. After all, the impression he gives is that of only mild surprise at being referred to as 'the Himmler of the lower fifth'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relationships, social pressures and pathos.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2013

'Classic' is a term used too often these days to describe films, books, plays and television. The Browning Version, however, can truly be said to warrant such an accolade. It was written in the late 1940s and is still relevant today examining, as it does, human relationships, betrayal and sadness. Whilst other plays of this period (and even later) have come to be regarded as having little to say to a modern audience The Browning Version is still capable of evoking an emotional reaction today. It may be set in the rarefied atmosphere of a public school but it's themes are universal and it's poignancy will be felt by anyone capable of empathy or who has an ounce of sensitivity in their being.

The play is not without sentiment but it is not 'sentimental' as (say for the sake of argument) is Goodby Mr. Chips.

This is quite a short play, perhaps one hour fifteen minutes running time. Anyone interested in theatre should find this excellently written play worthwhile.

This one act drama is a masterpiece. I first came across it in the Michael Redgrave film version ( scripted by Rattigan ) , and the much poorer Albert Finney movie ( scripted by Ronald Harwood) Then I heard it broadcast on BBC radio. It swept me away. Much better than either film, compact and tightly written, this story of a middle aged teacher's emotional wakening is gem of a drama. Economically written, the characters are fully realized, the story is presented with clarity and humour. Rattigan was a master of his trade. Anyone wishing to write drama could do a lot worse than to read this.

What can I say. A true masterpiece that captures "the human condition" in just 75 minutes. Amazing to think that Terence Rattigan wrote this at the age of 35. Mature and incisive beyond his years.
