The rare happy enemy mode in the fat suspense + spy war series, the originator of the fine suspense setting, the wonderful psychological game on the train, the historical background and political metaphors on the eve of the outbreak of World War II, the innuendo that the British personnel are not related to themselves. attitude, the revolving door in the magic darkroom and the climax of the shootout at the end. And it's surprising that the heroine of this movie didn't choose Xifa's favorite...

Movies that Hitchcock made when he was still in the UK, very interesting. Even in the early works, many grotesque elements can be seen. It was as if the passengers were complicit in saying that they had never seen the old woman just because they didn't want to get themselves into trouble. The rabbit paper in the luggage compartment is so cute, the nun is still so scary. For the sake of 1938, I give it four...

8.5/10. ①Mixed suspenseful spy wars and romantic comedies: With the help of the male protagonist, the heroine searches for the missing old woman she talked to on the train, and finally finds out that the old woman is actually a British spy. ②The camera makes good use of the narrow space of the train to create a sense of suspense; enriches the interestingness of the images with the constantly passing scenery outside the train window, the changing light and shadow on the train, and the sound of...

It should be said that the suspense settings are in place, but with the development of the plot, the subtitle translation has become more and more birdy, which is really...

Organs, deceit, distraction... Early film narratives really have a lot in common with magic shows... In contrast, most commercial films today are indeed theme parks as Scorsese said......

Looking at the first 1/3, I thought it was Screwball Comedy; the middle 1/3, oh, standard Hitch-style suspense, and the last 1/3, a spy war drama with a gun battle...

Light comedy. The old woman was missing from the train, and the female companion asked everyone and said that she had never seen it: the suspense was full, it was like a missing passenger on a plane. But anticlimactic, the first three points and two points are too good, and the rear end is scribbled, so one point is subtracted. The old woman was a spy, and an enemy wanted to kidnap her; the passenger reactions and the gunfight were stage-like, fake to death. Some brainless men want to rush to...

Hitchcock's early works, a suspenseful film with political satire yet lighthearted humor. The foreshadowing at the beginning is very classic, and it reasonably explains the behavior of the second half of the sentient beings. The gunfight part can be seen as...

The first Hitchcock black-and-white movie I watched, the first half was very hard and exciting, so that the second half was not so pleasant to watch. Compared to a suspenseful movie, it was more like a comedy or politics. Allegory - the so-called appeasement policy is...
