image 3.5 / 5 and sound 3/5. Great movie with great performances,
Devastating, due primarily to Joan Fontaine's magnificent, vulnerable performance. She does this thing with her eyes that I can't quite articulate, but it communicates an interiority that speaks to me. A lifetime of yearning captured in a glance. Equally brilliant was the camerawork and direction by Ophuls (it's my first of his films)--lots of sweeping, fluid tracking shots that amplified the romanticism and heartbreak on display. Loved it.
Really nice movie about a child who longs for a womanizing pianist from afar. This is her story told on her deathbed through a letter to her love. Though barely remembered by this man, she tells her story of unrequited love and the death of their child.... missed opportunities.... great film
