( ̄_, ̄) 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 problems that could not be on the stage, and finally HE and the lord's fiancee joined hands in affection. The reason I don’t like this movie is that the development of the story completely destroyed the "initial feeling" set for the three main characters. Merry's assistant finally became a good person, no matter how you look at it, the female protagonist configured by the femme-female is just an unexpected little sister...I personally refuse to think that this is a noir! (In addition, when I watched the film, I felt that Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake are the kind of men and women who are so beautiful. The next one went very early and the other was miserable,,,sigh.) The

only consolation is between the lord and the assistant. A few lines of blood-based emotions. The handsome assistant also said to the hostess with a sour line: "Do you think it's better for Paul to be with you than with me?" I'm going...what the hell line...


This is the first noir film that I have seen from Paramount in the order of the production time. The costumes and props of handsome men and women are exquisite. Compared with the shoddy sets of Warner in the same period, I don’t know how many times better. It's a pity that the mass production Hua has already revealed the characteristics of the future noir at this stage. [喵喵]The script and director are always the core of a movie.
