A very English film. Finney plays a hard-ass teacher who gives not an inch on his demands that his students learn the classics in Greek. For varied reasons, he has been forced out after 18 years, and not given a pension. Scacchi plays his not-loving wife, who is having an affair with another teacher in the private school where they all work.
Enjoyable.
