    8.1 Atypical film noir, delicate and elegant cinematography, with a long, wrap-around opening shot that includes almost all the key points for spoilers, except for one: the detective sits in a chair looking at the portrait and falls asleep, then the real person wakes him up, a poetic...

    The process is very cool, constantly guessing, constantly being overturned; the photography is really beautiful, black and white images, full of texture. I like the surprise brought by old movies the most, and I found the feeling of electric...

    "Are you in love with him/her" is really the secret of most tragicomedies in the world. After reading Fang Jue's story, it's not complicated at all. Love or not, determines the motive for action. The swinger can't pull the trigger. The delicacy, poise and style of classic film noir make people reflect on the rough and single expression of love in contemporary...

    Flashbacks, flashbacks, untyped characters, atypical noir films. I was shocked by Xiao Xiao as soon as I saw the first long loop lens + inner...

    Gene Tierney is really more suitable for black and white images, more suitable for film noir. I watched her in Lubitsch's comedy "Heaven Can Wait". How about watching her color...

    【YVR-theque】Three and a half. As the director's early work, the film is not jerky. Especially as a work from 1944, it is quite gratifying: although the process of solving the case is relatively weak, the analysis of the subject matter is very advanced. Besides, Dana Andrews's best years were in the 1940s, and he can't think of anything else except the headquarters and the golden...

    The plot structure is surprising, but unfortunately the characters' psychology and reasoning details are too rudimentary. The composition of light and shadow is very good, especially the long shots and lighting before the ending make me horrified. The middle part of the whole film is my favorite. The multiple frames of the police detective and Laura's oil painting on the wall create a dreamlike infatuation, which is more ingenious than the emotional depiction of other relationship lines....

    A perfect film noir, the romance in the context of murder is not at all obtrusive. Dana Andrews' deep voice and dashing charm of its own kind blinded...

    People are always ready to hold out a hand to slap you down, but never to pick you up./ You better watch out Mr McPherson, or you'll end up in a psychiatric ward. I don't think they've ever had a patient who fell in love with a corpse. The flipping case isn't the main attraction, it's the climax when Constable Mike falls in love with a murder "dead". She is so mysterious, beautiful, smart and moving. There are legends about her everywhere in the city. The men who have been with her will never...
