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.
流星拼着掉3w粉后果也接下这样一个男二角色还是值得给鼓励的，他这几年接的一些角色也能看出来有要甩掉偶像包袱的意向，但是演技就…亟待提高啊，DV那么剧烈的一场冲突戏也太瘫了，完全就没有给到すず回馈嘛，简直是演技被吊打，感觉监督都只能放弃拍他了。至于面瘫，跟桃李的面瘫又是另一种对比吊打。。。。算了还是当做进组学习吧。。
甚至没能好好讲一个故事，四年了，你就给我这个？
是不是因为松坂看上去总是气色不好，所以老是演这种阴郁的角色，不过确实演的好好，为了角色削瘦成这样，最后的镜头牺牲还挺大的～
拖这么长，有必要吗…明明100分钟可以解决的故事硬生生拉到两个半小时，叙事结构对不起卡司这么尽力的表演…难得看到主要演员全员状态在线的戏
照搬好莱坞外星人/异能人/怪兽故事模版，可是我真的好爱看爽片（以及金多美真的好酷🤤
李相日不会拍电影，白瞎了这么个好故事，这么一群好演员。
丝丝的演技太好了，状态也比姐姐爱丽丝要好得多。
多次穿越到《燃烧》片场去了，或许需要绝对的沉静才能完全浸入片中，但又会被一次次的错误所伤害到。观看者也是疲惫的，无谓的挣扎却没有解释，没有什么办法。丝丝的表演刷新了我对她的印象，但希望能接到些能好好做自己的角色，不要这么憋了。3.6
时长太长节奏太慢 看到后面已经昏昏欲睡了 ps.流星好好看 就算演渣男也完全讨厌不起来
故事其实有点意思。恋童阴影和各种形式暴力躲无可躲之下，两个不幸的人互相取暖。最后秘密暴露，身份也完成。他是吗，他看着好像不是，他就是，他其实也可以不是……李相日还是那么狗血、做作。
总体观后感：三颗星～其实最多值两颗，给最后那段打戏。还有一颗星是冲魔女一代目的出场。结尾彩蛋明显是有第三部的，希望有个相对圆满的结尾吧
合法版lolita，流星这种掉粉角色演一次就可以了
3.5 肉体无法给予和接受的两个人互相救赎还是个不错的结局 为什么桃李总演让人心疼的角色 而且还很适合 忧郁系
刺激不够刺激
2022.7.27 讀完原著，電影真的拍得爛。
嗯……不太行… 有get到横滨流星的演技 不管是bed scene还是dv scene都演到 是粉的话 我一定接受不了的程度（褒め言葉。 但…凪良先生的心里活动描写 可能就是真的不配一点os 念白一类的东西 光靠演 表现不出来 哦…还有就是 删掉了我最喜欢的两个人带着孩子吃饭的场景吧 小说后劲真的有点大…
李相日不会拍电影，白瞎了这么个好故事，这么一群好演员。
妹妹的故事。
7.影片最厉害的地方在于男主的慢动作，造成了同一个画面里一个人半倍数，另一个人正常倍数的特别感觉。抽丝剥茧让人享受，让两个不被理解的孤独的人互相取暖，日本的周刊迫害在很多片子都有所控诉，一再让人觉得世俗的恐惧。最后说明男主的病症有点多余，不说透不是更好？
太太太长了…很多空镜看似高级其实毫无意义 流星演得麻麻 村长和丝丝的化学反应勉勉强强 反而子役演得更好 最后村长脱裤子那里属实把我的上巴吓掉了😅😅
