Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
节奏很慢很慢，快一个小时了还在慢条斯理的进行家庭故事，可能真的是时代不同了，感受 不同了。
最后报数时突然想起许三多是钢七连第4956个兵,一个个数字,多么有魅力.........
要论，这部片应该还有个标签，那就是“教育片”。
孙道临的气质发挥得淋漓尽致，王心刚的客串也让人惊艳啊。
老故事片看着就是带劲，演员一起范，仿佛回到了那个传奇年代。
58年我们正在DYJ，我们的志愿军刚开始撤离。作为新中国第一位女导演，三代导演的作品，这部电影也很有分量。但是黑白转彩我不认同哎，这部电影的恶评也来源于此。
突出革命主题，弱化了爱情，孩子从垃圾堆里捡来的。
单纯以电影角度出发，我觉得故事/电影结构不如第一部。第一部的故事线结构分明，有记忆点；水门桥的故事线相对比较单薄：机场（大概1/4？）———炸桥（占据电影后半程），炸桥部分为群像展示，每位成员接连下线。看完之后感觉只记得狂轰滥炸，故事线没了
1、没有刻意描述二人的爱情
表演、镜头和音乐都很好。“高大全”是不是缺点呢？也不一定。“反套路”能叙述的就一定没有那么伟大恢弘。
看同名舞剧之前做的功课，惊奇发现B站居然有高清版，甚至配有中文字幕。老电影的故事讲的稍微迂回一些，人物个性丰满一些，最后段落非常经典。2021年10月又在电影院看了4K彩色修复版，感觉修复过后，角色服饰和背景环境是最吸引人的，甚至会不经意地注意墙上的图案、招贴画信息（有一幕显示良友商店里有卖牛奶巧克力和冠生园）、衣服纹路、房间摆设等，也算是让细节更丰富吧。整部影片自始至终强调发出电报信息这一工作的重要性，以及男女主角如何适应环境并保持坚定信仰，虽然现在看来略别扭，但总归是让最后“永别了，同志们”的表达更有力量。同时，多处画面又从台词、道具等处剪辑过渡，从敌我两个空间创造“蒙太奇”，构成了有趣的电影语法。另外，与反派的斗争，也有不少曲折的过程。
同志们，永别了，我会想念你们！
老片子没看过，这次看的4K修复版。放今天来看肯定会觉得有些表演很僵硬，但作为几十年前的，还是可以看看的。但我觉得上色有点多余，黑白应该也很好啊，上得不够细致脸色随光影的变化不自然反而适得其反。
费时费力把黑白电影转成彩色，不仅失掉了原有的美学特色，还呈现出这样的效果，希望不要有第二次了。
抗日背景弄得太假了，南京大屠杀了老蒋还投降个屁啊，1943年，日本都快完犊子了，还投降啥啊？
孫道臨實在不像一個從延安來上海的人，但他的溫和、平靜與沈著，以及他目光炯炯嘴角含笑的神情，足以讓人信服跪拜。無論他信仰為何，無論他言不言語，你都願意追隨。
演员们的表演和说话方式会容易让人出戏，但也不会是冲着表演来看的哇~那个绿色衣服的胖孩儿真的太可爱了，电影里的爹妈不管谁抱他，都拿他的大脸往人肩膀上贴贴
经典的革命题材老电影。孙道临先生虽然出生成长在北平，但是完美的刻画了一位老派上海知识分子和坚毅的地下党。最后被敌人逮捕前依旧战斗在电台前，并从容不迫的与战友诀别的片段堪称经典。李侠的原型是烈士李白。
在中国，永远离不开国产战争片的影子，每次战争，敌方永远都是像个傻子，三星给演员。
被捕前孙道临发报的特写，成为地下党员的经典写照。
