Adapted from the 1929 play by Henri Bernstein, the film follows the evolving love triangle between a violinist's wife and his best friend. "Melo" is short for melodrama, and the film offers an intriguing exercise in that tried-and-true form. [More]

It dishes out dollops of pain from among the Brahms' sonatas, and melodramatics that were dated long ago.
