Term of Trial

You teach English in a school below your station, a spell in inside forecast your future resignation, as you objected, now you're tarred, opportunities, are now all barred, and while there's spirit, it fills a glass, for your libation. Your marriage has become bitter and soured, as your wife thinks you're afraid, a reserved coward, but you're generous and kind, you feel morally inclined, to help young Shirley Taylor, to become empowered.

Great performances from all the cast, but especially Sarah Miles who, as the besotted pupil, takes her teacher, also wonderfully performed by Laurence Olivier to the depths, as generosity and charity are rewarded with retribution and humiliation, when advances are not reciprocated, and he doesn't succumb, to the temptation.
