1948 - Letter From An Unknown Woman (Max Ophuls) - Joan Fontaine

Plot Synopsis by Paul Brenner Perhaps the finest American film from the famed European director Max Ophüls, the film stars Joan Fontaine as a young woman who falls in love with a concert pianist. Set in Vienna in 1900, the story is told in a complex flashback structure as the pianist, Stefan Brand (Louis Jourdan), comes upon a letter written to him by Lisa Berndl (Fontaine), a girl who has been in love with him for years. Stefan is in the process of fleeing Vienna on the eve of fighting a duel. As he prepares himself for the nocturnal journey, the letter arrives. It begins, "By the time you read this letter, I may be dead." As Stefan sits back in his study to read this letter, it turns out to be a confession of unrequited love from Lisa. The story flashes backs to when Lisa was 14 years old and Stefan was her neighbor. After following Stefan with a girlish obsession, the romance gets much more serious, and they have a brief encounter. Stefan promises to come back to her after a concert tour, but he never does. Meanwhile, Lisa marries another man when she discovers that she is pregnant with Stefan's child. When she runs into Stefan years later, he doesn't remember her and tries to seduce her. After Stefan reads the letter, he wants to rush to her side, but now poor Lisa is dying from typhus.

In Vienna about 1900, the decadent pianist and wolf Stefan Brand is challenged for a duel by a deceived husband. He arrives in his apartment and tells his dumb butler John that he intends to leave Vienna to avoid the scheduled duel, and John delivers a letter from an unknown woman to him. He reads the letter written by his former neighbor Lisa Berndle where she tells that she was a teenager when she develops a platonic love for Stefan, who is a promising pianist compared to Mozart. Lisa worships his performances on the piano, but she moves with her family to Linz. Later she returns to Vienna as an independent young woman, having a brief affair with Stefan, who travels to Milano promising to return in two weeks. Stefan never returns and Lisa raises their son in secret. Years later, she meets him again at the opera and her passion arises again, believing that Stefan remembers her. She leaves her husband to stay with Stefan, but her doomed love has a tragic end.
