One of the great English novels of the twentieth century now turned into a great English film. Brenda Last has everything that other women would envy - a loving aristocratic husband, an adorable son, a huge stately home in the country. But, for a bit of fun, Brenda starts an affair with a social climbing young scrounger from London. It is the start of an inexorable slide into disaster.
