Starring Vivien Leigh and Kenneth More
with Eric Portman, Emlyn Williams

Kenneth More re-creates the role which brought him stardom on the London stage - as Freddie Page, the attractive but feckless ex-RAF pilot created by playwright Terence Rattigan. Vivien Leigh gives one of her finest performances as Hester, a married woman trapped as much by weakness as love in an affair which, as the film opens, seems to have run its ill-starred course.

The last in this series of Kenneth More films, The Deep Blue Sea gained a Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival for his portrayal of Freddie Page.
It was Vivien Leigh's first film after her Oscar-winning performance in A Streetcar Named Desire
