This looks like part of someone's research paper--which is fine, but why don't you set up an account, 80.108.19.xxx, so we can address you by name (or nym)? We bark occasionally, but rarely bite. :-) This is interesting work, and I'd be interested to see what else you have to write. --KQ 16:26 Aug 22, 2002 (PDT)
Well, it isn't part of a research paper, but thanks anyway. And yes, I'm going to log in properly. By the way, what's wrong with my apostrophes? Isn't this ´ just as good as this ' ? Kurt aka 80.108.19.76
OK, I´ve set up an account as KF.
I'm confused. Does she go into town once a week, as first stated in the synopsis, or once a month? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.108.194.149 (talk) 19:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Someone changed Laura and Alec throughout to Mrs Jesson and Dr Harvey. To me, this makes the tone a bit too formal, even though this is an encyclopaedia. And surely the characters addressed each other as Laura and Alec? (I can't be certain as it's over 30 years since I saw the film, so am happy to be corrected.) Hence I've reverted.--A bit iffy (talk) 12:30, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pettigrew, in "Trevor Howard: A Personal Biography" claims Celia Johnson was paid £12,000 for the film whilst Trevor Howard received just £500. However, Pettigrew contains some blatant errors (not least that Guy Gibson's VC was "posthumous") so there must be doubt without further evidence. The disparity is enormous and the claimed fee for Johnson seems outrageously high for a country in serious austerity. Any reliable evidence most welcome.PDAWSON3 (talk) 04:56, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the See Also section. Only one item in that section (BFI 100 British Films) had any relevance to this article. I put that item in the Critical Reception section instead; it made no sense to have a See Also link yet not have the distinction mentioned anywhere in the article. Another link was to an article about Banbury cakes. Since Banbury cakes are not mentioned in this article, and this movie is not mentioned in the Banbury cakes article, what would be the point of a See Also link? The reader would have no idea why they were directed there. The other three items were links to articles on movies or books that apparently have plots that are vaguely, partly similar to the plot of this movie. This seemed pointless. And--are See Also sections even a thing? Sylvia A (talk) 21:49, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The lede states that the film is about "British suburban life at the end of World War 2". However the plot states "In the latter months of 1938". They can't both be right. Which is correct please? Zin92 (talk) 13:05, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The last sentence of the Adaptation section, from "Still Life", has a unreferenced condition. It refers to a Bibliography, but there is no bibliography in this article. Does anyone know if it refers to some bibliography of Coward's somewhere else on Wikipedia? Or is it just a missing reference? Johngillis (talk) 16:07, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Moved:
The Channel 4 British drama series Shameless has a plot based on Brief Encounter in its fifth series. Similarities include the main character Frank Gallagher getting grit in his eye from a bus, being caught by a friend of his wife, and experiencing the tearful departure. Frank's wife Monica even thanks Frank for coming back.[citation needed]
Brief Encounter also loosely inspired "Mum's Army", an episode of the British comedy series Dad's Army. There is a similar final scene in a railway station.[citation needed]
