CGiii Comment

Timeless, gentle and important.

This changed everything - homosexuality had style and conscience.

Elegant - as you would expect from a Merchant/Ivory production - but, the servings of pain and pleasure are a sensitive delight.

May its influence continue.

The(ir) Blurb...

Two male English school chums find themselves falling in love at Cambridge. To regain his place in society, Clive gives up his forbidden love, Maurice (pronounced "Morris") and marries. While staying with Clive and his shallow wife, Anne, Maurice finally discovers romance in the arms of Alec, the gamekeeper. Written from personal pain, it's E.M. Forster's story of coming to terms with sexuality in the Edwardian age.
