The Passionate Friends reviews

The Passionate Friends holds a 6.8/10 average from 63 TMDB ratings.

Ann Todd puts in quite a strong performance in this quite sensitively presented drama as "Mary", a lady contentedly if not ecstatically married to financier "Howard" (Claude Rains). One afternoon she bumps into "Prof. Stratton" (Trevor Howard) and that rekindles memories of a pre-war romance. When her husband has to go to Switzerland on business, she accompanies him and yes, you've guessed, she encounters "Stratton"…
— CinemaSerf (7/10)

A woman is torn between the love of her life, who's married to someone else, and her older husband.
