		Browning, who has headed the Hawaii diocese for nine years, champions the ordination of women and actively opposes the nuclear arms race.
		Allin's term in office was marked by two ecclesiastical events: the adoption of a modernized version of the venerable Book of Common Prayer, a measure favored by Allin, and the ordination of women to the priesthood, which he opposed.
		In 1979 Browning broke ranks with a 99-to-34 majority of the bishops who declared that "it is not appropriate for this church to ordain a practicing homosexual." He was among 20 liberals who filed a fervent dissent, insisting that homosexual behavior should not be an automatic barrier to the priesthood.

	Lee's Movie Info - Browning Version DVD Review
		The problem with Browning Version is that it’s got the cast but not the appropriate screenplay; the producers have the right director, it seems, but the material at hand is just too dull – it almost needs its own inspirational teacher to give it light.
		With Browning Version, Finney’s persona is a hard character to like, and whereas with Robin Williams in Dead Poets, Williams was very controlling in his performance and it was hard to take one’s eyes off of him.
		We pretty much know where Browning Version is going before we even watch it, which places importance on the premise, as it needs to be gripping or at least remarkable in order for there to be a reward at the end of the tunnel.

		I am astounded first of all about the rave reviews of The Browing Version film starring Albert Finney produced in 1994 when the first and finest version (to use a pun) was released in 1951 starring Michael Redgrave.
		Albert Finney´s portrayal of retiring classics teacher, Andrew Crocker Harris, in "The Browning Version" is a marvelous and understated performance that you will not forget.
		Directed by Mike Figgis, THE BROWNING VERSION is based on the 1948 play by Terence Rattigan about an English schoolteacher who is forced into retirement by a series of life complications.

		"The Browning Version" is the memorable story of a student who inspires his brilliant yet beleaguered and unappreciated teacher.
		In particular, the scene in which the young Taplow gives him a book (the Browning version of the title) as a parting gift after he is forced into early retirement, is an incredible moment, the force of which makes Harris' wife's subsequent cruelty all the more hard-hitting.
		The 'Figgis version' certainly did it for me. The beautiful location filming, the score, and the excellent supporting cast are all worthy of recommendation.

		I was therefore quite pleasantly surprised when “The Browning Version” proved not to be nearly as stodgy or musty as it first appeared; in fact, the film carries quite a dramatic punch.
		“The Browning Version” is directed by Anthony Asquith (Mike Figgis directed a 1994 remake starring Albert Finney) who made quite a career for himself by adapting popular stage plays, including George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” (1938) and Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” (1952).
		Just as Andrew is ready to pack up and leave, a new professor inadvertently lets slip that his students haven’t just dubbed him “the Crock”: they also call him “the Himmler of the Lower Fifth.” Andrew is wounded: all his life’s work and he is nothing more than a cruel joke to his students.

		He returned to the Timecode quad-screen approach for his section of Ten Minutes Older, but has also worked on documentary pieces including a segment of Red, White, and Blues and a short piece on the flamenco.
		His curiosity with the cinematic use of time has led him to cite Robert Enrico's film version of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge as an influential film for him.
		His fascination with camera technology has also led him to create a camera stabilization rig for smaller video cameras, called the Fig Rig which places the camera on a platform held within a steering wheel-like system and has since been released by Manfrotto.

		If "The Browning Version" proves anything, it's that a good story is hard to mangle.
		Set in the emotionally rarefied atmosphere of a British private school, "The Browning Version" is buttressed by Finney's brooding performance.
		In his attempt to update the play (and appeal to younger, American audiences), scriptwriter Ronald Harwood gratuitously turns Hunter into an American, throws in a dead-end subplot involving an 18-year-old bully, and sweetens the ending so Scacchi can leave this movie looking nicer than her character is meant to.

		But draw it he does, and the resulting picture is a most gratifying and beautifully executed study of character.
		Perhaps the best way to describe the plot of "The Browning Version" is to imagine two books--one representing Andrew Crocker-Harris and the other his beautiful, frustrated wife--interleaved with one another.
		Rattigan has exposed a man's soul with relentless probing, but at the same time with extreme delicacy, and that is about all one can ask of any playwright.

		`The Browning Version" is based on Terence Rattigan's 1948 play about an English schoolmaster who is forced into retirement by a bad heart, a faithless wife, and his own mounting despair.
		But the heart seems capable, at least for the time being, and the wife has real affection for him, deep down, and by the end of the film even despair has been held at bay by a spirited blast of rhetoric.
		The locations are ancient and inspiring, the characters are eccentric, and the sentiments are secure (even though few of us probably sincerely share the master's regret at the loss of Greek and Latin requirements).
