    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Theatrical movie debut of Helena Bonham Carter (Lucy Honeychurch) and Rupert Graves (Freddy Honeychurch).
    • Goofs
      In the plaza when the man who was killed in the scuffle falls to the pavement, a cigarette butt with a filter is shown between the bricks. Filters were invented in the 1920s and were not in widespread use until the early 1950s.
    • Quotes
      • George Emerson: He's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at, like a painting or an ivory box. Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real, and to think and to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms.
