Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
根据真实故事改编的救援电影，故事感人，但电影不够好看。
冲着藤原龙也看的这部悬疑，但演绎得有些故弄玄虚了，书中剧情与书外剧情应该有更加鲜明的区分，才能体现出原著的引人之处。原著主要是利用假亦真时真亦假的特点，但片子书内书外初始就用的都是藤原龙也，也就失去了这种感觉，更像个倒序时空蒙太奇的电影了。这个锅导演得背。还有就是黑帮也没个黑帮样，整体风格缺乏黑色氛围带来的紧张感，其实悬疑也必然要伴随着解开迷雾的压迫感，只有这种迷雾里的冰冷和迷雾外的炙热相结合，才能创造出炸裂的优质悬疑片。
三万円的兜兜转转/在束手无策的时候、但还是希望会有奇迹发生的时候，就鼓掌吧/藤原龙也让人上瘾
真不明白一个人爬到山尖上去，到底有什么意义？
之前没看懂，后面懂了点，把现实写成小说了。2个大男人可以这么心心相依，真的好吗？
快进吧，徒步总会有这种意外。但是每次的精神享受也是其他无法比拟的，没去当驴友的人体会不了，可能是为了放空，猎险，突破自我极限，但是，自己为自己行为买单就好了。
2.5⭐，因为風ポン很帅加半⭐，演技和人设确实整容了，喜欢一些斯文变态❤️
黑帮片的黄金时代一去不复还，最近只有爱尔兰人苟延残喘地再现了一点高光时刻。虽然打着黑道家族的前传名头，但全片的黑帮内核实在太无趣和平淡。男主看上了漂亮的继母从而击杀自大的生父，得到继母后又充满强烈的控制欲以至于让这个胸大无脑的花瓶吐露了出轨的事情；生意上和曾经抛弃的黑鬼小弟势不两立地争斗，结果最后居然被亲叔叔买凶杀人。这样的人设太让人无语，性格缺陷严重还没有太多的专业素养，居然让那个小男孩佩服得五体投地心心念地想跟着他混，不知道这样的设定如何能征服观众。那个后妈也不知道为什么要承认和黑鬼兄弟上床的事情，就这样白班白挂掉真是可惜。全片没有看到黑帮的情义道，也看不到男主的智慧和勇气。只有无聊的锅里斗。片中的服化道挺复古，风格比较还原，再加上继母性感美丽的小妖精模样，勉强拉回了一点看点。
小成本，戏很简单，剪辑一般，节奏缓慢。人物性格模糊，行为合理性存疑。
一星给黑帮残杀的血肉横飞还有父亲情妇的异国情调
门槛粉丝向，但是这个剧本明显放在电影的体裁水土不服呀，还不如直接发展成剧集，反而是最后两头不讨好，华纳的魔爪真的毁经典从来不心痛
编剧和导演并不能驾驭电影这个形式 现在就是一部冗长的流水账 剧情东一下西一下 剪辑节奏不连贯 整体一盘散沙
节奏确实慢了点, 但故事讲的不错, 西野七濑是真的可爱
不清楚编剧到底是咋想的，明显脑子里装的都是他娘的浆糊，头绪都没理清就想搞出点东西……这么好的底料来做铺垫竟然拍出了流水账的感觉，可惜。咱还是有空回去再重新刷一遍《黑道家族》(The Sopranos)才好！看在致敬经典的份上，勉强加一颗星吧……
帮助回想起了一些电视剧的情节，作为独立的黑帮电影那种不知道谁会随时挂掉的氛围算是给足了。
我觉得还凑合，老公是刷了五遍黑道家族的资深fan，他觉得非常不行，选角没有代入感
女主的过去和无名男子的动机都大致猜到了，最后人物自己讲出来还是有点五味杂陈，原来这世上真的有男人会为了喜欢的女孩殉情……
两星给娜酱的，这剧情我看得云里雾里，始终搞不明白想表达什么。
男主你这不是写小说了 是纪实文学了…… 绿帽癖丈夫……
每一部电影都有七濑（2）。|2.23日，晚上加刷，早上《我的初恋女孩》。1。一小时磨出20分钟。半晚44分钟。跳一下对手戏，弃片。
