The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
The “unknown woman” of the title is a Viennese woman at the turn of the century who bears the child of her unrequited love – a concert pianist who doesn’t even know she exists. In the hands of Max Ophuls, the stuff of penultimate melodrama becomes the stuff of exquisite observation and contemplation.
