      It’s a glass key that breaks when touched

      ( ̄_, ̄) I thought it would be a very mysterious film in the middle of this movie, but the final ending was quite disappointed.... In the film, Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake are a real-made pair, honey smile honey juice Smile, and then there is nothing more in-depth to perform. [

      The structure of the script is anticlimactic, roughly speaking of a low-born, vulgar but upright lord, with a witty and suave assistant who wholeheartedly supports the lord’s campaign for He solved all the...

      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...

    Movie plot

    This movie tried to create a mysterious atmosphere that aroused interest, but it was not very successful. Ladd is the right-hand man of Donlevy, who is the boss of the local voter organization. By closing one eye to the dirty criminals, and giving them some sweetness, Paul established his own power, and the criminal Calleia also received a lot of favor from him. Later, Paul decided to change his evil and back to the right, supporting...
