The bittersweet tale of a British classics professor (Albert Finney) at a posh prep school, who only discovers as he is preparing to leave that he is almost universally loathed, this compelling drama based on Terrence Rattigan's play boasts another great multi-faceted performance by Finney. (R. Pitman)[DVD Review--Nov. 18, 2003--Paramount, 97 min., PG, $19.99--Making its debut on DVD, the 1994 The Browning Version features a good widescreen transfer, overall (with some softness and grain evident), and a solid Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, but no extras. Bottom line: a good, literate film that is well worth picking up despite the lack of extras.]
