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.
本来开场就觉得肯定是俗气的煽情路线，看到后面还是忍不住感动了，有两点不如意，没有拍出北野武的下流劲儿，老年北野武要是让真人来演就完美了，化妆实在太差，弄的跟国产西游记一样，身材不远不如本人魁梧～
有笑点有泪点；就是没尿点；剧情好节奏棒；国
叙事上情绪断得一塌糊涂，浪费了好演员（章宇），简单的情境和故事都拍不入戏，容易出形式美感的场景也搞得这么敷衍，整得跟样板戏一样。整部电影还没预告片好看。
如果春节档只看一部影片 那必须且只推荐本片
化繁从简，挺好。只是孩子的设定有点脱离现实，有点假。还特意通过画外音解释了一下。
三星半，应该还是张艺谋女儿的作品，有很多不成熟地方
这种题材一定要含着笑流眼泪才行，差了那么一点意思。男人的野望是小杯盛不下的酒，倒着倒着就溢到外边去了，可酒不会忘记最早接纳自己的杯子。
张导演作品
恩师的意外，搭档的自戕，母子的关系…
整个就很东亚，细品爹味儿也挺浓。但我还是看哭了，大概还是骨子里的东亚基因的召唤。看过北野武全部的书以及电影，get到他的跟糙汉外表完全不符的细腻柔软的心思，并且他底子里是悲观的，还有很多老派的价值观，一直认为这跟他的母亲以及家境有很大关系，看完这部大概知道跟深见千三郎关系也很大。第一哭是吃到了一点父爱代餐。第二哭是当下的73岁北野武去自己事业人生的出发点法兰西座，时间这个东西的无情、残忍与无奈在画面上具象铺展，击中心脏。第三哭是北野武用破锣嗓子唱的首位呼应的歌《浅草小子》，故事感太强了，情绪太满了，直击要害，听了无数次，依旧每次听都要哭。今晚我得听着这歌喝两杯，才对得起这部片子给我带来的巨大情绪冲击。
已经脑补出北野武本尊看的时候一边标志性抽动着脸“八嘎牙路”一边强忍着眼泪“老子要让包括东京电视台在内的五大电视台都放这部电影”
細節滿分，人物形象立體！國師的老問題故事情節夠不飽滿！整體還是優質的！
从小看到大的那些抗日电影即便是脸谱化奇观化脱离实际地讴歌化，至少「反法西斯战争」的本质是 legit 的。而关于这场战争，即便是「命题作文」，我也期待有创作者能「真话不全说，假话全不说」。可惜张艺谋也没能做到。
比长津湖好多了。脚板还在，雀雀还在，还雄得起。
好上加好。对观众情感走向的引导、烘托和拿捏非常精准。
以小见大的故事，深深感受到当年战争的惨烈，有这样一部电影在贺岁档挺棒的，老谋子的出品很稳，章宇的表演很棒。
章宇太好了。
还是特别喜欢张艺谋的电影，小故事也特别精彩，个人觉得对比同类型的长津湖更喜欢这一部！
节奏太棒了！没有像某些战争片一样让人看的心累，想不到还有谁比章宇更适合这个角色，加一星给章宇，新人演的也挺好的，没有刻意煽情但也能感受到当年这些战士的伟大，很感动，可能这些具体的人更能让观众动容，比较好的是没有给对手强行降智。
小武说美国有个叫Lenny Bruce的喜剧演员，不管是种族还是政治，什么都敢讲，我就是要做那样的漫才；听到这句话我很感动，尽量将来有一天你北野武是作为电影导演被全世界人记住，但是你确实触及到了喜剧艺术最强大的精神内核；深作师傅的故事太令人唏嘘了，麻里老板娘说我就是喜欢看到舞台上的你啊，看到这里默默哭掉了半包纸
