Editorial
Adapted from a Stefan Zweig novella, Max Ophüls’s masterpiece plunges into the throes of romantic delusion with aching lyricism. Excelling in a rare role that spans from teenage infatuation to womanly devotion, Joan Fontaine tugs at the heartstrings in this melancholic tale of unrequited love.
