Review of Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948) by Darren R — 23 Aug 2014
A man receives a letter from a woman he's known, wooed, seduced ... and forgotten. A classic Hollywood melodrama set in romantic old Vienna and handled deftly by director Max Ophuls, who keeps the usual violin chorus down to a discreet tone, allowing for a full feeling of how romance blossoms and then is carried with one. A heady potion for this chick flick about sacrifice, yearning and denial that's as close to fine wine as you'll get.
Joan Fontaine and Louis Jordan embody the mood wonderfully.
