    Uninteresting melodrama electrified by Ophuls's direction, which might have been applied to something more worthwhile.

    Don't knock Herr Ophuls.

    Now let's be reasonable about this.....anything made by Max (that's to his mates by the way) deserves a viewing. Unfortunately, Letter From An Unknown Woman(I love you Joan!!!!) or Madame De this is not...in fact it's an above average Hollywood film and that's it.

    All great directors have average days.
