About to set the HD recorder for Letter from an Unknown Woman, BBC 2, Sat 19 Nov, 08.05-09.30hrs. Directed by Max Ophuls in 1948 from Stefan Zweig's bittersweet novel with an enticing opening line, 'By the time you finish reading this letter, I'll be dead' this stylish classic is hauntingly played by Joan Fontaine and Louis Jordan. La Fontaine, probably best known for playing the second Mrs de Winter in Rebecca, (1940), is also the featured performer in Talking Pictures which follows, 09.30-10.00 hrs. Highly recommended.
