7.5 points. This kind of swap murder may have been new at the time, but now it's very common, not to mention that Bruno is actually selling the perfect murder plan everywhere, and he is constantly approaching Gai, which has left his original idea a thousand miles away. .

    Flickering light, murder in mirrors, flames reflected in mirrors, parallel montages of tennis matches and lighters. Of course, the most shocking thing is definitely the Trojan Horror at the end. In the 1950s, there was such a whimsical idea, which perfectly combined the thrilling atmosphere with the audio-visual language. This move has become the source of inspiration for many literary and art workers in later generations. .

    8.0/10. 1. Although the overall logic is not high, the idea of ​​"Murder by Swap" is liked. 2. Fatty once again played with his delicate visual language, dazzling objects (shadows, lenses) and photography. The three sections of playground murder, court game, and merry-go-round fighting were the most exquisite. 3. It is still supported by dialogue, and there are few cold scenes.
