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.
#BJIFF 2021.9.17#大伙笑的时候，学电影的我哭成了狗。
虽然我不是太喜欢这个故事，甚至我认为男主的个性行为方式都很奇怪，但是导演这种昭和老派的意味还是很吸引人。不论是清水宏还是小津安二郎，亦或者原节子，他们都是那个日本电影黄金时代的电影之神。在这个疫情严峻、电影行业也看起来有些式微的当下，致敬曾经的那些辉煌其实还是会让人感慨并且感动的。50年后的人又会如何看待我们如今的电影呢？
只是当年想象的弘大，放在今日却显得渺小了。
几乎没有缺点的年轻go酱和几乎没有优点的老年go酱，验证了“我们最后都会活成自己最讨厌的模样”这条铁律。也或许是从两个人的视角，对go酱不同时期展开的描述，年轻的淑子视角和老年后女儿的视角，因此于一人身上，呈现出两种不同的轨迹。
所以，当你热衷某件事并满心期望会在这件事中有所作为的时候，就要不顾一切拼了命地去冲啊！不论成功失败，至少死之前不会留有遗憾，至少你曾经很努力很努力地为之付出过。你看，阿乡就是不够拼，他选择了逃避，即便是在垂暮之年实现了也不是那么回事了。
8分。没想到在“你应该选テラシン”那里泪奔了。看电影的时候，也好像身在电影里。
讲了电影，但好像又没完全讲...吐槽夹杂在片中各种行活里插科打诨就过去了。
渣男版的家族之苦。年轻时代的人设和现代部分相差过大，结尾疫情时代下对电影院的感触好直接。
看不出苏打有多喜欢永野，也不知道永野什么时候开始喜欢了苏打，也看不出苏打有多喜欢电影。或许是年轻时有点才华，到老了还在用年轻时留下了的剧本参赛获奖。到最后变成了一无是处的糟老头，还在拿过去的感情揶揄自己的好朋友。蛮让人讨厌的一个角色。
结尾有点怪，但还是会被老爷子感动到。
完全不忍心看到曾经意气风发的永野芽郁和苏打的落魄暮年…虽说在电影中死去得偿所愿，但回头看过去，或许会觉得这一生实在是漫长得毫无必要，才会如此苦撑吧…（话说最讨厌浪子回头的戏码了
三星半。对电影的热爱的部分让人动容，但糟糕的人生也不是电影就可以化解的。
女人给了男人幸福，男人却用自甘堕落回报女人。ps淑子也太可爱了吧！
原著中没有妻子这个人物设定，茨威格身为犹太人，一生饱尝精神迫害和流离失所。
最后一幕泪崩！当你专注地看着你热爱的方向，就会看到神的身影，招手让你远离悬崖。
最感动的是，即使过了这么多年，他们依然互相陪伴互相扶持。电影最初的本质就是一群人团结地做着他们共同热爱的一件事，十分纯粹。多年过后，这种力量依然没有消失。但是淑子隐忍这么多年，甚至懦弱纵容，所做出的反抗也仅仅是几句抱怨，这个被导演刻意轻飘飘带过的情节实在让人难以接受。最后，咩酱真的可爱死了！！
比想象中要好的观影体验，中段某个奥地利口音军官完全听不懂让人如坐针毡，茨威格的小说向来描写细腻不好影视化，本片做得倒是还不错。茨维格特有的那种小资产阶级知识分子的优越感和痛苦的人精神煎熬都表现得很好。
北京电影节打卡。男主这种男人竟然还能娶到老婆就离谱。片子搞笑的地方还挺搞笑的，结尾还是挺妙的。
没到最后时间，就一直是处于没看懂的状态。两条时间线傻傻的分不清。找不到节点自己…可能比主人公还感到恐慌orZ
这是一个落魄导演不得志的故事，也是一个美丽女性守护自己的爱情牺牲一切的故事
