James Naremore's study of Max Ophuls's 1948 melodrama pays tribute not only to Ophuls but also to other talented contributors. Naremore provides a nuanced discussion of the film's style, its skillful adaptation of Stefan Zweig's 1922 novella, its reception, and its importance for the history of feminist theory and criticism. He also places strong emphasis on the poetics of melodramatic recognition, in which the revelation of a character's identity leads to crisis and potential revolution. Naremore shows how the film's use of the age-old 'recognition plot,' which can be traced to classical sources, differs from Zweig's use, resulting in one of the most powerful recognition scenes in Hollywood cinema.
