    Xi Fat's first pinnacle work. 1. The spy war suspense film and the love comedy of Huanxi are perfectly mixed, and the tension between the two people in the paragraphs held by the same handcuffs is extremely exciting (with the pornographic viewing of taking off the stockings). 2. The innocent people motif debuted. 3. There is a slight loophole, the ending is excellent, Mr. Memory and Mr. Broken Finger. 4. An impromptu speech by the milkman, the bra businessman on the train, and the agile dining...

    The Greek works of the British period have strong black film elements. The cold humor of the islanders who are good at self-deprecating and self-satisfiing can be seen everywhere. Inserted into the exciting pursuit, not only has the function of adjusting the rhythm, but also the booster of the plot; opening the innocent volume The mode of entering the conspiracy reached its peak in "North by Northwest", and McGoffin's use is handy; the mockery of the police and the preference for glamorous...

    Limited to the conditions of the times, I always feel that the state of this movie is relatively "rough" both in terms of technique and depth of content. The spy war + the joy of the enemy is similar to the later "The Missing Lady". The amateur was involved in a political conspiracy + double escape. Some shadows of "North by Northwest" can be seen, but generally speaking, it can be regarded as a relatively complete practice of the setting of "Mugffin" in Xi Pang's early works. In addition, am I...

    There is a flaw in the plot (how Smith died, he was still holding a map when he died). Sound (tune, screaming/train sound), space outside the picture, sexual comedy (milkman alibi, pov editing in dinner table scene), pov (abyss-Bridge...

    Robert Donat is handsome enough, and when he is smirked with Madeleine Carroll, he looks very seductive. The 39 steps seem to be hitchcock’s sphinx again, with a slight surprise at the end, the plot is very...

    Suspense grows. As a film in the 1930s, it is excellent. The technique has become a precedent for modern suspense movies to imitate. The humor and sweet love everywhere make the movie more entertaining. It's a bit funny at the end, and it's relatively...

    Crofter's Wife: [to Hannay as her husband walks in] You ought not say that.
