Summary: Christine Radcliffe (Bette Davis) encounters her lover from music school Karel Novak (Paul Henreid), whom she thought was killed in the war, by chance in New York. They are still passionately in love and marry almost immediately, much to the consternation of her current lover and benefactor, the world-famous conductor/composer Alexander Hollenius (Claude Rains), who does what he can to torment the young couple.

Great turn by Bette, and absolutely mesmerizing performance by Rains (one of the best I've ever seen). John Collier had to have written the protracted dinner scene...as well as the one where Rains is lounging in his bed reading the paper (not to mention the Drawrof ad!).

Tremendous fun--two no-holds-barred, over-the-top performances (Davis and Rains) and one serviceably bland one (Henreid), fabulous sets, some deliciously purple writing, and a wonderful score by Erich Korngold. This is the sort of movie that gives melodrama a good name!
