The House of Squib presents Academy Award. Tonight, Greer Garson in Brief Encounter. Every week, Squib brings you Hollywood's finest. The great picture plays, the great actors and actresses, techniques and skills chosen from the honor roll of those who have won or been nominated for, the famous golden Oscar of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science.
For generations, the House of Squib has been known for the high quality and unfailing dependability of its products, each the result of a never-ending quest for perfection. Today the great family of Squibb products reflects the tremendous advance of science in its contribution to human health and well-being.
The name Squibb stands for progress through research. Squibb is a name you can trust. Tonight's Squibb brings you Brief Encounter, the picture of which at the International Film Festival in Cannes, France was voted as the best British motion picture shown.
In brief encounter, you will hear Greer Garson, the talented Hollywood screen actress who has six times been nominated for, and in 1942 won the coveted Academy Award. You and Arbiter of Love Affairs. Can you judge a man and a woman?
Apply the yardstick of a moral code to their acts. When you sit alone and aloof and view dispassionately, then you were the judge in the jury. And this story of one man's wife and another woman's husband could never happen to you.
Or you've never lived a lifetime in one brief. This is the story of Alec Harvey and Laura Jessen and a life lived in the commuter section of a railway station. Can't last.
This misery can't last. I must remember that and try to control myself. I'm going home to Fred, my husband and my family. Nothing lasts really. Neither happiness nor despair. Not even life lasts very long.
