Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
当代亚裔同志玛丽苏版傲慢与偏见。不知道怎么，想起来看了有17个年头的queer as folk，那个带来的感觉都更真实。
非常沉闷的电影，老练的船长生死关头的心理素质还不如菜鸟机工
近几年日常生活的剧太少了
excuse me, I wanna have a moment with my sister.
或许会受伤，会看透险恶阴暗，但还是怀一些美好的愿想在心底吧。
「荒野绝境」片，前半部却像冒险片，后半部则只能用「心灵幻觉」来制造某种「人工」的矛盾冲突却没有真正的紧张感，似乎到底还是剧本无力的原因。
《Looking》姐妹篇的风格，同性的真情实感细腻呈现，杨伯文表现很不错，悲喜交加。不相信爱情的我嗑的也很爽.
虽然刻意模板不真实之处随处可见，但看着还是挺乐呵的
I love adventure/survival films. This film caught the very spirit of the challenge and both main characters portrayed the conflicting emotions and expectations of the experience brrilliantly.
有趣的点有，但是不多。出场的每个gay都有完美身材给人的感觉还是重返异性恋视角俊男靓女那一套。
一部关于stereotype和反stereotype的电影。其实真的比我想象好太多，现在想想自己其实也是带着成见看的（这片名和海报；一群gay去一个岛狂欢的题材；然后还有对杨伯文本人的认知hello？！），钢铁直男都会知道有点什么。。。然后你就变成了岛上的人——大家都有着自己的刻板印象。然后有意思的是一边吐槽着一边又上演着各种刻板印象，which又非常得gay！这种自说自演和反复横跳，还是有趣的！

gay版pride and prejudice么
影片后半部靠幻觉凑故事有些无聊 前半部情节很不错
没看直接评：A pile ccs keep twittering😑
相较于早年间mean girl式美式青春片性转版的外出就餐系列，这一部已经迈出了很大一部了，很多观点的挖掘和摊出很值得思考。
同志版的傲慢与偏见，will的演员演技真不错
套用老套的直男直女的故事情节又怎样，但是喜欢Noah和Howie之间的对话。尽情体验，创造属于自己的回忆。God knows what's going to happen tomorrow.
很喜欢Luck的骚鸡人设，will很好看。其实如果Charlie错过了Howie会更好一些。用古典异性恋框架的爱情故事来翻拍gay版会显得有些weird，虽然提到很多次heteronormativity，但似乎…也许这可能是导演想要表达的，即便在火烧岛，也没能解决掉它。
其实挺好看的，套用了傲慢与偏见的剧情，挺经典。也挺好笑，不知道为什么分不高
