This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.In Italian with English subtitles.With the Nazi terror on the ascent, master filmmaker Max Ophüls fled to Italy in 1934 and made La signora di tutti [Everybody's Lady] an exuberant, desperate melodrama that, although arriving early in Ophüls' body of work, ranks comfortably alongside Letter from an Unknown Woman, The Earrings of Madame de..., or Lola Montès in the hierarchy of the director's achievements. Isa Miranda, one of Italy's greatest stars, plays the role of a star (in the part that made her a star) pressed to revisit the entire history of her lovers to the present moment through an inexorable web of flashbacks... brought on by the anaesthetic following a failed suicide attempt. From the record revolving on a turntable in the picture's opening moments, Ophüls sets into motion one of those roundelays with fate that he alone could pull off with such eminent elegance.
