An Irish Madame Bovary, letting her gaze wander outside her staid marriage, romanticizes a battle-shocked British officer into wildly subjective visions -- dramatic silhouettes highlighted by unearthly lights and rushing winds. The expansive novelistic detailing of events makes for an unusually dense and deliberately paced movie; but director David Lean's eye and writer Robert Bolt's ear are, most of the time, drawn wastefully to clichés. With Robert Mitchum, Sarah Miles, Christopher Jones, and John Mills. (1970) — Duncan Shepherd
