The moment the male lead drew the knife from another person, the movie was no good.

What kind of farm plane shooting, the clever escape from the auction, and the seamless transition in the ending, yes, it is truly unprecedented. It is a pity that these classic bridges are severely dragged down by the plot mentioned in my title. It's better to say that, this forced back-to-back plot greatly reduces the height of the film, so that you will think this movie is a bit "stupid" from now on.

Objectively speaking, the connection between the lens and the lens is very good. I also like the color of the whole movie. I am sorry for the failure. In my heart, this movie is not excellent because of this.

    Put on a piece of clothing that can't be taken off and look for someone who doesn't exist. The master-level montages of the plane chasing and killing, the auction escaping, and the ending train entering the hole are all classics and amazing. The most interesting thing about it is that it juxtaposes the active identity misplacement (undercover) and the passive identity misplacement, cross-influencing each other, and finally retrieve the original identity together.

    [Shanghai Film Festival Screening] 4K restored version. To this day, it is still an awesome commercial genre film. Crime, suspense, comedy, love, action...Airplane train President Hill, all kinds of elements. Gary Grant, who turned on the mouth-cannon mode, is full of charm, and his acting is silent. The blonde heroine is also very attractive. The photography and storytelling of Ming Chuying History are well-deserved, and the props and scenery are also very exquisite. The huge screen effect also adds color to the film

  • Phillip Vandamm: Mr. Kaplan, you are quite the performer. First you're the outraged Madison Avenue advertising executive who claims that he has been mistaken for someone else. Next, you play the fugitive from justice supposedly trying to clear himself of a crime he knows he didn't commit. And now, you're the jealous lover spurned by love and betrayal.

    Roger Thornhill: Apparently the only performance that will satisfy you is when I play dead.

    Phillip Vandamm: Your very next role, and you'll be quite convincing, I assure you.

  • Roger Thornhill: Now, what can a man do with his clothes off for twenty minutes? Couldn't he have taken an hour?

    Eve Kendall: You could always take a cold shower.
