    God's reversal forms a narrative spiral, and God's acting skills support every detail without flaws. Even though I, as a grandma fan, guessed the first reversal, I was still surprised by the next twist. Some movies are good, everyone disagrees, and the good-looking of this movie is definitely at the level of hard...

    I don't like the last two reversals. The first time I basically guessed it, and the second time was abrupt because of the hasty handling, and neither could withstand spoilers; Later legal films have created too many models to imitate (all techniques can be seen in later generations such as "The Good Wife"); I like the beginning part the most, explaining the facts of the case and shaping the characters are not boring at all. , shows the...

    The third Wilder movie I've seen...I really like it. His arrangement and design of the story is worthy of being the king of feature films. I think, no matter how roundabout the process, the real truth will eventually become clear. The reversal at the end of the movie is really amazing! I really like this fat...

    As expected of the queen of detective novels, the double reversal of the finale is too exciting. It is astounding that a court trial film more than 60 years ago can be so wonderful. And the subtitles are also very conscientious, and there is a spoiler-proof reminder at the end, which is really...

    Six stars! Although it is a pity that I guessed the ending, it will never affect me from the lines (especially the lines) to the performance (including various group performances) to the plot (including the success of making the audience happy at the end). The movie is a masterpiece. No wonder Charlotte Chandler's introduction included writing an autobiography for Billy Wilder as a major...

    I read it in the library, but I forgot to mark it. I don't know how many latecomers were affected by the final big reversal. It is no wonder that the subtitles "please do not spoil after reading it" appeared at the beginning. ....

    It's too good, it's a pity not to watch...

    The courtroom scene is so exciting and beautiful, not to mention the reversal of the last ten minutes! Billy Wilder is such a...

    "The public is more willing to believe a slutty whore to lie than to believe a virtuous wife to testify for her husband." The biggest irony and idea of ​​the prosecution witnesses, even in the top lawyers, can't escape the constraints of arrogance in human nature. The most advanced classical, serious and easy-going humor, seemingly innocuous, but actually cynical, and efficiently contains a lot of information; the opening is funny to greet the lawyer, fully revealing the character background...

    The best part is the performance. Charles Laughton's performance is almost soul-stirring, the veteran lawyer's dedication, weak, sharp and occasional childlike innocence, as well as the sense of justice at the end, all make the audience laugh or be surprised. The couple supporting the show are not weak, and the female lead is quite beautiful. The lighting is also very elegant, and the rhythm of the scenes is also well controlled (for example, the second male supervisor takes pictures). There is...
