Based on Noel Coward's classic film of a chance meeting, this is a story of innocence and unexpected love. Anna (Sophia Loren) and Dr Alec Harvey (Richard Burton) meet by chance and their casual friendship turns into a tormenting relationship. Realising the danger to her marriage, Anna avoids Alec who is unhappy in his own marriage, and pursues Anna with increasing intensity. Unable to resist his charm, Anna accepts Alec's invitation to a rendezvous in a friend's apartment. When the friend unexpectedly returns, Anna is overwhelmed with shame - her fantasy dream has become a nightmare of deceit, her secret love corrupted by betrayal; and the people she betrayed are those she loves the most.
