Summary
The Emperor’s Club. Dead Poets Society. Stand And Deliver. Film fans fondly recall them as tales of a teacher who inspires his students. The Browning Version the memorable story of a student who inspires his brilliant yet beleaguered and unappreciated teacher. Albert Finney, Matthew Modine and Greta Scacchi star in this richly layered work of truth, tears and triumph. In a widely acclaimed performance, Finney plays a brilliant but stern classics instructor at a posh prep school who is forced out of his job and into the realization that he is despised in the classroom...and at home. Suddenly, the proud academic is adrift...until one student’s profound act of kindness gives him the inspiration and courage to build his life anew.
