Clichéd but wonderful

A typical Billy Wilder noir film, my favorite Barbara Stanwick film, the heroine she plays is a meticulous and spicy femme fatale. The story may seem a bit old-fashioned now, but the old-fashioned story is fascinating and exciting!

The structure is compact and interlocking, and the layout and breakout complement each other. It's rare to use a monologue to express the character's psychology without making me feel impatient. In order to pursue a dramatic transition effect, the choice of roles and the progress of the event are quite inconsistent. I didn't mind this kind of reasonable compromise at first. If the pleasant experience brought by the proper arrangement is enough, I am willing to take the initiative to ignore it. But this one is just a bit short.

    The lines are really wonderful, and the ending is a little weaker. I hoped to have a turnaround and turnaround like "Body Heat". McMurray’s appearance, acting skills, and chanting skills are actually quite good, not inferior to Parker, Cooper and others. How could he have never been affirmed by Oscars...

    Guessed it was a game, so I have been waiting for the final reversal, but it seems to be a squib, which is slightly worse than the later prosecution witnesses

  • Walter Neff: Suddenly it came over me that everything would go wrong. It sounds crazy, Keyes, but it's true, so help me. I couldn't hear my own footsteps. It was the walk of a dead man.
