Peterson (Ingrid Bergman), a psychiatrist at the mental hospital, is a single beauty who is very popular with her male colleagues in the hospital.
Because of physical reasons, Dean Murchison is about to retire, and he is replaced by the famous doctor Edward (Gregory Pike) in the medical field.
The moment they saw Dr. Edward, everyone was stunned. He was young, handsome, and talented, completely different from the image in everyone's heart.
Peterson even fell in love with this promising young man with a melancholy temperament. The encounter between young single men and women is like a dry fire, which burns instantly.
The two fell in love at first sight and started dating for the first time. Peterson felt the happiness he had never had before. In her heart, Edward was the perfect man.

An even stranger thing happened, when Peterson accidentally discovered that the handwriting on the note Edward had written to her was completely different from the one he had signed when he published the book.
The biggest possibility is that this Doctor Edward is a fake, everyone only saw him for the first time, so it was not exposed.

Video Analysis
The film is the first film after World War II, in 1945, people longed for psychoanalysis to relieve the pressure of war and the guilt of murderers. Many people felt the insignificance of life, the absurdity of the world, and the fear of war in the post-World War II era. Under such mental pressure, an alarming number of schizophrenia inevitably developed.
The film is one of the first films with psychoanalysis as the theme in film history, in which a variety of psychoanalysis and therapy methods are used, not only for the characters in the film, but also for the audience in front of the screen. There is a very classic dream description near the end of the film. Xifa hired the surrealist painter Salvador Dali to design and paint the set, which is breathtaking.
Many people may be attracted by the cast before watching the movie, and the handsome and beautiful combination of Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck is indeed eye-catching enough. At that time, Bergman had already won the Oscar, and there was no choice for his acting skills, but Parker was a little immature. However, challenging roles with complex inner hearts at the beginning of his career will be of great help to his future acting career.
The style of the film is still rich in the unique characteristics of Xi Fat, and he fills the plot with the atmosphere that he is good at. The only difference is that the heroine in this film is not a vase, she will take on the responsibility of "beauty saves the hero", which is very different from other works of Xi Fat. After all, the "strong woman" is set in Xi Fat. works are rare.
At the beginning, our heroine Peterson did not respond to the show of love from his colleagues, and seemed to be too "calm" about matters between men and women. In fact, many girls are the same in reality. They are not without passion, but they have no feelings for you, and the indifferent response is just a tactful rejection of you. And when they meet the real Prince Charming in their hearts, you will see their passionate eyes, and they will smile brighter than flowers.
The taste of love is too wonderful, better than any other taste, "Women are excellent psychoanalysts before they are in love, but once they are in love, they become patients", what rationality and calmness are left behind, they become Blind, even irrational. And love at first sight is like lightning, it happens suddenly, there is no warning, it is hard to prevent, but if you are hit, it will be unforgettable.
I don't know what it means for Xi Fat to create such a character. She is too perfect, so perfect that it is so unreal, but she is familiar, and maybe everyone has a Peterson in their hearts. This perfection comes from trust. She unconditionally trusts the person she loves. When trust turns into obsession, this obsession also becomes the only patron saint of her lover.
Love can bring people persistence, it can make us never give up when we can't find the truth; love can bring people courage, it can make us calm even in the face of danger; love can bring people hope even more. Let us be fearless in the dark, because after dark there will be dawn, and after darkness there will be light.
