摘要

Forster's influential novel of homosexual yearnings (first published in 1971) is splendidly narrated by British actor Peter Firth in this fine production. Maurice Hall is a rather typical member of the British upper middle class: racist, classist, ignorant, and proud. He attends university where he meets Clive Dunham, and they begin a passionate, albeit chaste, affair. After Clive has a bout of influenza, he loses all feelings for Maurice and decides to marry and live a conventional lifestyle. Maurice is devastated.
