In turn-of-the-century Vienna, renowned pianist Stefan Brand returns home to find a letter waiting for him — a letter from a woman he doesn’t remember. As he reads, her story unfolds: a deeply emotional confession from a woman who has loved him since she was a teenager.
Through flashbacks, we learn that the unnamed woman (Joan Fontaine) had a brief, passionate affair with Stefan (Louis Jourdan) years earlier — an affair that changed her life forever but meant little to him. Despite his forgetfulness and careless ways, her love endured. She bore his child and suffered in silence, never revealing her identity to him, even in her final words.
A haunting tale of unrequited love, memory, and regret, Letter from an Unknown Woman explores the deep emotional consequences of fleeting romance and forgotten connections.
