    Atypical black film, the branch line of the times cares about the generation affected by the war (the life of the heroine and the male supporting role cannot return to normal after the war, like the war never happened), the old Douglas played well, and the character setting was good, It is the nature that is difficult to change, and it is the greatest disrespect to the audience to unravel the character's half-life knot and arrange a happy ending with just a few words. typical day...

    Thorough family ethics drama. William Bendix, the king of drama, performed very poorly. He may be used to being a villain, and he played as a decent character instead of playing well.

    Kirk Douglas fell twice in 1951, once in Billy Wilder's classic, and once...he had to fall. After World War II, the Western society, which is desperate for reconciliation, will never honor such a black-and-white ruthless character who lives in hatred and pain. But the process and method of the collapse must be moderate: first of all, he does not know his wife's past, so his resentment against the doctor is not selfish; then, whether driven by despair or justice, he can be a hero by blocking the...
