Letter from an Unknown Woman(1948)
In Vienna, about 1900, a dashing man arrives at his flat, instructing his manservant that he will leave before morning: the man is Stefan Brand, formerly a concert pianist, planning to leave Vienna to avoid a duel. His servant gives him a letter from an unknown woman, which he reads. In flashbacks we see the lifelong passion of Lisa Berndle for him: first as a girl who was his neighbor; next as a young woman who, in secret, has his child; then as a mature woman who meets him again and abandons husband and son to be with him. Each time he does not remember who she is or that they have ever met. By morning, he has finished the letter, and her husband awaits satisfaction.

Franz Planer's lustrous black and white cinematography is very well served by this often resplendent high definition presentation. Planer and Ophüls play with light and shadow throughout the film, and the wonderful chiaroscuro ambience looks really nicely sharp and well detailed throughout this presentation. The elements here are in very good shape, much better than some other recent catalog releases of the same general vintage we've seen from Olive. Contrast is strong and consistent and as with most Olive releases, no digital tweaking of any kind has affected the film's natural grain structure. Letter from an Unknown Woman Blu-ray, Audio QualityLetter from an Unknown Woman features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio Mono mix that nicely reproduces Daniele Amfitheatrof gorgeous Romantic score which includes a lot of piano cues (it must be stated that Louis Jourdan is perhaps the worst "finger syncher" of all time as he pretends to play the piano in several scenes). Dialogue is very clean and precise sounding, with Fontaine's omnipresent narration sounding great. The track has a certain age related boxiness but generally sounds quite spry considering its vintage.
