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.
i expected crazier....
哈姆雷特这套已经看腻了，亮点只有极具个人风格的视听，以及安雅的脸蛋和屁股。艾格斯趋于商业的一部，希望后续给力一点。
基本是北欧神话加上美国人对古代北欧的臆想，不尊重历史，毫无科学。。故事有结构，但没逻辑。
视觉感依旧是柯南伯格擅长的路数，剧情上却更加晦涩，探讨未来身体异变进化的可能性，也捎带了些政治隐喻。
和看了预告的预期有距离，和预算不相称，在欧美票房也扑街了。剧情太简单，个别摄影还行。
对为什么没弄好的原因很好奇。最核心的关键是，人物塑造极差，和前两部0可比性。在这个基础上影像的下滑都不值一提。
哎呀我的个亲妈啊这到底是在干啥。我不能说完全没看懂吧，基本是没搞懂到底讲了些什么。蕾雅赛杜躺在手术床里那一段好性感，其他我真是不知道该说些什么。
哈姆雷特的故事多少遍也不会腻，莎士比亚才是永远的神。
北欧封建迷信大全+冰岛旅游宣传片。很刺激，大部分时候在咦惹、哇哦和哈哈哈哈哈哈之间反复横跳。妮可基德曼xxxxx的时候我的内心活动：您和谏山创一定有很多共同语言……
虚无主义或许真实，但这种“不一定”一点用都没有
讲真，就这样讲神话，还不如拍拍雷神这样的喜剧了。。。
很有野心，把残忍和死亡的向往拍得如此浪漫神秘也是难得一见了。安雅迷死我了～
北欧风极度浓郁，但是这些个情节就有点拖沓，有些东西也不好理解
血脉偾张的北欧野性哈姆雷特。视听效果来说，完全能被铁与血被敲得头昏目眩。就剧本来说，非常的单薄。有种完全舍弃了“文明”方式的表达，以巫蛊、渡鸦跟狼的先祖附魅，以血淋淋的内脏呈现出纯粹原始的信仰跟力量。落幕时，嘶吼跟打斗停止的时候，世界一时都失去了感觉。
四星半。最喜欢的《哈姆雷特》改编。完全剔除了莎翁戏剧的多愁善感。神话和写实水乳交融。
召唤过去的阴影，丝线织成网，诺伦三女神掌控所有人的命运。（过去、现在和未来）
北欧人的脑回路清奇。
对于柯南伯格的影迷来说，这部简直是“80s柯能宝回顾展”，一切都是最熟悉的柯南伯格早期风格，早餐椅、肚皮拉链、异形床、手术遥控器，全部都是熟悉的有机体质地，但在摄影上又是完完全全的大升级，当年的粗糙感一去不复返了，取而代之的是保留一定的昏暗潮湿的古典质地，这样的视觉颠覆感很像看《燃烧》时的感受。
skrek mycket.
