An elegantly presented film in which Ophuls would rather move the camera than cut, beautifully designed by Alexander Golitzen, though somewhat distant. Howard Koch adapted Stefan Zweig's novel. Bud Westmore creates a young Joan Fontaine, then an older one, who is absolutely smitten by Louis Jourdan - not he, unfortunately. Also it's the worst fake piano playing ever. Franz Planer lights those elegant scenes elegantly.
Know Art Smith the valet from somewhere - could be In a Lonely Place. Daniele Amfitheatrof scored a good score. It has its own unique atmosphere and feeling.
