E.M. Forster's (A Room with a View, Howard's End) story, set in pre-World War I England, studies a theme few period pieces dare mention--a young man's struggle with his homosexuality. It is the coming of age for two young men who meet at Cambridge and fall in love. Maurice (James Wilby) and Clive (Hugh Grant) struggle with the desires of their hearts and the rigid dogma of British class society.
