Ophüls' profoundly tragic film is beautifully constructed, perfect even. The scene where Lisa realizes the truth is as magnificent as it is cruel. There are precious few films in which I wouldn't change a single shot. This is one of them.

...en melodram i ordets fulla bemärkelse, som tål att ses om och om igen.
