Carole met her man on the Arsenal terraces. The invitations were out, the cake was made, the presents had arrived. But why didn't the bridegroom turn up to meet the vicar .. ?
Diane was 18 when she met Stu. It was a romance built on sentimental postcards, holidays in the sun, and love at long distance. Was it all too perfect to last... ?
Kate and George were in the middle of their ceremony when the telephone rang. Why did the registrar stop the wedding? And what was the secret he unveiled .. ? Sue was a coalminer's daughter. Richard was a policeman, up in Yorkshire on picket duty. It was a whirlwind romance. But at
9.30 on the eve of the wedding itself, there was a knock on Sue's door ...

Max Ophuls
Independent producer Lynda Myles introduces two great romantic stories set in the Vienna of the 1900s.
Letter from an Unknown Woman starring
Joan Fontaine Louis Jourdan In this classic
Hollywood melodrama directed by Ophuls,
Joan Fontaine plays
Lisa Berndle , a sensitive young girl of 15, who falls madly in love with Stefan Brand , a concert pianist.
When they finally meet three years later, Lisa's feelings have not changed....
Screenplay by HOWARD KOCH from a story by STEFAN ZWEIG Produced by JOHN HOUSEMAN Directed by MAX OPHULS and at 10.45
Liebelei starring
Wolfgang Liebeneiner Magda Schneider
Vienna 1910. A chance meeting at the opera leads to romance, but the consequences of a past affair threaten the young officer and his new love.
Liebelei - the title means
'dalliance' or 'flirtation' - is based on a play by Arthur Schnitzler and was the last film directed by Max Ophuls before he left Germany in 1933. Its star cast guaranteed its success, but the Third Reich censors removed Jewish names from the credits, including the director's and Schnitzler's.
Screenplay by CURT ALEXANDER HANS WILHELM and MAX OPHULS
