    Recommend an old movie. The story of Agatha Christie, directed by Billy Wilder, will not be bad, and it also stars Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich. The nurse in the play is Lawton's real-life wife, and the two of you are very good-looking. The film portrays the protagonist in different ways. The lawyer's character is quickly established and his motives are established. The heroine is mysterious and unpredictable until the...

    Billy Wilder and Granny's teaming up is really extraordinary. This film has solved @水刀子's question very well. How to make a big star play the murderer and surprise the...

    #Documenthouse# Second brush, this time I pay attention to the symmetrical flip of love, derailment and revenge, and it is true when it is false; Lawton and his wife’s rivalry is full of fun (everywhere misogyny echoes the sexual orientation in life), envy and jealousy Such a human touch in the hateful Xifa movie is probably quite different; the use of props (cigars, single lenses, sharp knives) is very cinematic, Dietrich's trousers and stockings are torn; life is like a drama, all depends on...

    It is said that Xi Fatt once claimed that this film is similar to his work. Brother, I feel that this is a nonsense in the film industry: if Xi Fatty is filmed, there may be a comedy style, but it is definitely not Wilder-style gentle and elegant, and the film's The ending also won't be a "dramatic" stage conflict (which, frankly, is a bit rushed for the film), and a strong performance shot will give the film a rich ending....

    Adding or deleting characters on the basis of the original work, and modifying the plot are technical tasks for the screenwriter, and this film is not bad. The performances of the actors are all very good, and the hard work of the supporting roles is commendable. The dialogue is worth remembering. The ending is a little...

    It's really great, and it doesn't lose its color compared to the current movie. I really can't think of a movie from 1957. That character of Charles Laughton is really interesting. The only downside is that there is something about love at the end, but it doesn't affect it. Both the actors' performances and the script are too wonderful (another question is why my subtitles are always delayed and I have been able to adjust...
