    The core framework of the plot is the same as the original. The branch of the gang murder case is deleted. The ending of the original explains the murder more clearly. The black boss of the soft rice in the original is unexpectedly turned into a tough guy. Ellen Ladd's tough guy image is quite handsome, although I personally think Bogart is more suitable for this role. The most flamboyant character is the thug Jeff, who is a bad...

    Welcome everyone to come and find the murderer. Is there an ambush in front of the last murderer? ? Although I like Lake and Alan, but this time Lake is completely soy sauce. In the second half, the fat guy feels gay every time he puts his hands on...

    Adapted from Hammett's original work, he has never been too fond of tough guys. Scorpio women always have a magical beauty - mysterious, arrogant, sexy, charming; no wonder there are countless tycoons who chased Veronica Lake back then, but unfortunately the stars are fleeting like a shooting star, plus a broken marriage Completely ruined this lifeless...

    Not a film noir. . . The subjective shots of Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake are too romantic and comedy. Although I love watching them flirting and scolding, they are too deliberate, and they are not as natural as in "Contract...

    dangerous, mysteries, seductive, oh I'm talking about the role of Alan Ladd, not Veronica Lake. Plot is actually quite weak, but Alan Ladd is very dazzling, small and okay, with cold and spicy eyes. Lake just came to play, and didn’t like her part very much. A love scene with no two would be...

    [YVR-theque] Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd do match well, but Brian Donlevy is undoubtedly the best one in this film. It's too exciting. The ending explanation is also...

    Three-and-a-half, although it is a combination of Rad and Lake, Lake is basically playing soy sauce emotional scenes and it is relatively unimportant. It's boring to look at and doesn't have much passion. At the end, when the murderer is found at the end, I feel...

    From the beginning of the film, I feel that the sense of substitution is not good enough. The crime film that seems to be full of suspense but is actually simple and clear with the campaign as the background. Alan Ladd plays the witty and courageous assistant who clears the name of his best friend and prevents the spread of the newspaper's conspiracy. , to escort the general election. It is not a typical black movie plot. It wants to expose the darkness of elected politics, but it is not deep...
