Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948)

Posted on 09:51 by john cena
Highly Recommended
USA
Feature Film
Director: Max Ophüls
Writers: Howard Koch, Stefan Zweig
Cinematographer: Frank Planer
Composer: Daniele Amfitheatrof
Cast: Joan Fontaine, Louis Jourdan, Mady Christians, Marcel Journet, Art Smith, Carol Yorke, Howard Freeman, John Good, Leo B. Pessin

Fontaine, transforming from ugly duckling to beautiful swan before our eyes, is quite outstanding in this excellent adaptation of Zweig’s oft filmed novel, a tragic tale of unrequited love in turn-of-the-century Vienna, and one of the finest films of Ophüls’s career. Iain.Stott
