With his masculine charm,
chiseled good looks and
engaging French accent, Louis
Jourdan became one of the
movies' most admired leading
men of the 1940s and '50s
before evolving into a suave
character actor and sometimes
villain. Our tribute focuses on
Jourdan's heyday and includes
the long-anticipated TCM
premiere of Letter from an
Unknown Woman (1948), a tale
of unrequited love set in early
20th-century Vienna and
directed by fabled German-born
director Max Ophüls. Jourdan
plays a dashing pianist, and
Joan Fontaine costars as the
lovely young woman who suffers
from a lifelong infatuation with
him. Not a big success in its
day, the movie has emerged as a
cult favorite and, according to
host Robert Osborne, is the No. 1
film requested by TCM viewers.
The other Jourdan features
are the nostalgic comedy The
Happy Time (1952), the
suspense thriller Julie (1956),
the swashbuckler Dangerous
Exile (1958) and the Oscar®
winning Lerner-and-Loewe
musical Gigi (1958), with Louis
in another of his most indelible
roles as the rakish Gaston.
