[Starring] Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotten

This poetic and imaginative film is the story of a dream-an artist's dream of his ideal. It is also an adventure in time; for the child Jennie, who so quickly grows into the woman Eben Adams loves and who is his inspiration, comes to him out of the past, and he can be re-united with her only after death.

in conversation with John Morgan

Since his early satirical comedies Antic Hay and Brave New World Aldous Huxley has always been a keen observer of human frailties and ambitions. Tonight he talks about his view of contemporary society and, among other subjects, about his friend D. H. Lawrence, about British puritanism, about the United States where he now lives, and about the abandonment of the search for Utopia.
