Browning version

Harris (played by Michael Redgrave) is a teacher of classical literature. He is gentle and elegant, and has worked diligently throughout his life. However, one day, he was fired, euphemistically called "early retirement," but his students didn't take it seriously at all. At the same time, Harris also discovered that the classical literature he had studied all his life was now worthless, and he had become an antique that no one cared about. The worst part is not just this. Harris thought that the relationship between himself and his wife Milly (Jean Kent) was very good. However, in fact, Milly had been secretly sleeping with a chemistry teacher for a long time, and Harris knew nothing about it. In his later years, Harris gradually lost confidence and hope in life. At this time, one of his former students gave him a copy of "Agamemnon" translated by Browning. It was this book that helped Harris regain his courage and self.
