''Brief Encounter'' is a 1974 British-Italian television film starring Richard Burton and Sophia Loren, adapted from the play ''Still Life'' by Noël Coward. The plot of the film is about two strangers, both married to others, meet in a railroad station and find themselves in a brief but intense affair. The material was previously the basis for the David Lean film ''Brief Encounter'' (1945). Burton was cast at the last moment, after Robert Shaw dropped out. The film had its premiere on U.S. television on 12 November 1974 as part of the ''Hallmark Hall of Fame'' series on NBC.〔("TV: 'Brief Encounter'; Burton and Miss Loren Portray Lovers on Hallmark Film at 8:30 on NBC," ''New York Times'', November 12, 1974 (subscription required) )〕 The two leads were cast with "wild disregard for suitably" according to Brian McFarlane, who has described the film as "a total disaster."〔Brian McFarlane ''The Encyclopedia of British Film'', London: Methuen/BFI, 2003, p,82〕 Originally intended to have a television screening in the United States, followed by a cinema release in the rest of the world, its poor reception in New York led to the international plans being abandoned. Rank, who owned the theatrical rights in the UK, sold them to television.〔David Shipman ''The Great Movie Stars, Volume 2, The International Years'', London: Macdonald, 1989, p.335〕 According to David Shipman, reviewing Burton's career in ''The Great Movie Stars'', this remake was "widely viewed as a ludicrous undertaking."〔Shipman, p.85〕 ==References==
