This is one of the best classic films made between 33 and 45.A Romantic film.This was one of Marianne Hoopes best films.She plays Madeleine,a neglected wife of a very busy Paul Dahlke.I kind of feel that the use of Paul was mismatched for M.s. Hoopes but in this case this would be an excuse for her to meet Michael, played by Ferdinand Marianne. Starts with a Jewelry shop.She is admiring the pearl necklace.Ferdi sees her admiring them and starts to make a pass at her. She leaves .He later buys the necklace , next time she at the shop he surprised her with them.At first she rejects them.He then invites her up to his apartment.She discovers that he is a composer and a conductor of an symphony orchestra.He is composing a symphonic melody.She inspires him.That's when the affair begins. There's a funny shot when Paul Dahlkes character is saying good bye to her as he goes to his job.It's odd .It shows a behind the head shot of Marianne ,showing mostly of Dahlke. Her husband never founds out until she discovers her husband boss is a friend of Michael.Thinking she was Michael's Frau. Only at a business dinner that Madeleine discovers that Sigfried Breurer ,playing Viktor Pauls boss, is Michael friend. He discovers he is the wife his employer.He eventually black mails her.she's force to go to his place or else.So in the beginning of the film it shows that she ended it with suicide.I thought she was already dead.Paul selling some of her stuff to pay the medical bills, discovering the necklace she wore thought it was fake, was real. Marian visits Paul and Paul devastated than ever.The last scene you see her in bed recovering and the hands of Ferd putting her necklace down on her. Great movie.This is at Germanwarfilms.com 04/18/12
