In Reply to: Zweig and his Amok posted by Victor Khomenko on December 07, 2003 at 11:03:50:
Well, I may have a faiblesse for sentimentality....But your wife is right from her point of view it is certainly so...Zweig was at best with History and wrote very good books on .
Zweig was my liebling when I was 22 or so. I read a lot from him then, and I made friend with him. I read a lot on his tragic end in South America documented with photos after his suicide with his wife.
Amok, no. Nothing.
And now to the letters.
Follow Ups:
I don't think I touched Zweig since I was twenty or so, but fortunately I have my wife here - quicker than checking any encyclopedia! :-)Take a look at this one:

Do you know the director?
nt
I did already check! After your post!
Now to " Lettre a une inconnue "...
It is a melodram, Sirk did continue in this way later.
Max Ophuls transformed the novel, that is what I had remember after the very few first shots.
Schnitzler, Maupassant and now Zweig it is the same sadness, the same humanism, Joan Fontaine ( née de Havilland ) has the same romantic ambiguité as in Hitch ´s Suspicion and Rebecca and en particulier the last.
It is the story of lost and missed, on the verge of being masochistic.
Louis Jourdan a dark and a beau as always wooden but not without charm.
A film that lives you empty.
Only if you want to be feel all the wrongs of the world, and looking back at a time where society impose itself as a rule of life..that may have change, but we...not.
