About this product

Product Information

LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN is set in Vienna at the turn of the century, an era Ophüls loved and had used in LA RONDE and LIEBELEI. Joan Fontaine gives a moving, heartfelt performance as Lisa Berndl, a romantic young woman who falls in love with the handsome concert pianist Stephan Brandt (Louis Jourdan). After a brief affair, which she takes for love, not seeing that he is just a philanderer, he leaves for a concert in Italy and never returns to the now-pregnant Lisa. She bears the child herself and later enters into a stable marriage, although one lacking the passion and love she still feels for Stephan. Ten years later, when he returns to Vienna, Lisa attempts, at the risk of her marriage, to see if he loves, or even remembers her. Fontaine and Jourdan perfectly project the feelings of a woman in love and a man too selfish to notice or care.Written by Howard Koch, the co-author of CASABLANCA, from a novel by Stephan Zweig, LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN is generally described as a "woman's picture" because of its theme of unrequited love. But this somewhat pejorative description hides what in acting, writing, camera work, atmosphere and emotion is not just one of Max Ophüls' crowning achievements, but one the finest examples of how all elements needed to make a great film are brought together.

  • letter from an unknown woman

    This film is a masterpiece! Perfectly casted with Louis Jordan and Joan Fontaine. The music that ebbs and flows throughout the movie is pure genius and is as critical to the movie as the dialogue. This film is occasionally seen in small town film festivals and was once compared to a Renoir painting by a celebrated film critic. Over the years, this film has gotten lost and, as with the film "Ten North Frederick," should be brought to the public's attention once again.

  • Title is ok but actors are wrong

    Movie is hard to understand. I decided to buy it because of Fontaine. She was an excellent actress but she shouldn't have been in this picture. Louis should not have been in this picture either. Good actor, bad part.
