Synopsis

The film which established the reputation for Max Ophuls, based on a play by Arthur Schnitzler; the story of a young lieutenant who is in love with a Viennese girl, and is called to account by a baron who believes him to be the lover of the baroness. The military code requires a duel, the lieutenant is killed, and the girl throws herself out the window in despair. "Ophuls' magical adaptation of Schnitzler''s mordant love play is a lament to lost innocence, transported by Ophuls'' moving camera into the mystical regions of remembrance" (NY Film Festival). German with English subtitles.

Max Ophuls---Germany---1932---88 mins.
