Joseph Lowsey’s film The Mediator, which I also had a long time ago downloaded and watched, is considered the last in his conventional trilogy. I can’t say I’ve been watching it all the time, but it’s a quality melodrama with good actors and a bit unexpected for me here as a composer by Michel Legrand. A teenager from a not very wealthy family comes to visit his high school friend from high society and unexpectedly finds himself drawn into a love affair between the owner's daughter, who will soon be engaged to a viscount, a hero of the Boer War, and a local farmer. He carries their notes to each other, but at some point his behavior begins to conflict with his conscience. During this summer month, he begins to slowly, if not grow up, then understand that in adult relationships there are not only kisses, something he does not know, and the whole story seems to have traumatized him for the rest of his life (oh, Victorian England!), as it turns out in the end, he never got married. The narrative is conducted on behalf of an already adult hero, again acting as an intermediary - this time between the already aged heroine and her grandson. Not daring herself, she asks to tell her grandson, hesitant to marry, who turns out to be the grandson of her lover, even though she married a viscount, about the whole story of her love, deciding to use it for the last time.
