Beautifully made by Max Ophuls and producer John Houseman and writer Howard Koch. Joan Fontaine just gets in under the wire age-wise as a young girl infatuated with pianist Louis Jourdan (the quintessential Louis Jourdan role).
I'm not always wild about old Vienna tales but it's done very well. Heartbreaking in that the kid dies of typhus and she dies, having wasted a lot of potential. I like the husband character who avenges the woman.
