Red and blue spectrograms of SN 1990M in NGC 5493 obtained at the ESO 1.52 m telescope 1 to 4 days after the supernova discovery are analyzed. Besides the characteristic type-Ia SN features, a relatively broad absorption line was observed at 6619 A which has been identified with H-alpha with the same redshift of NGC 5493. The line width and strength on June 16.9 are consistent with line formation in the neutral parts of an intense wind of a luminous star close to the supernova, and likely associated with it. Alternative models include absorption in the H-rich matter ejected during a common envelope phase.
