The main story is set in a British Military Intelligence Office in Whitehall during 1956, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts find their quiet existence disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ewan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is doing his national service as an interpreter of Russian documents. Bored with his job, Hopper spends his days creating fantasy daydreams that involve his work colleagues breaking into contemporary hit songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of the violent Corporal Pete Berry (Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is an object of desire for Mick's fellow clerk Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged pipe-organist named Harold Atterbow (Roy Hudd). Unlike the street-wise Hopper, Francis is a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career has been interrupted by his army call up. The appearance of the bookish niece of a seconded American officer enables the two conscripts to pair off with suitable partners, after initial mismatching. Some of the side themes include the influence of American rock and roll on English society, the gulf between the senior analysts, who are regular army officers, and the conscripted other ranks, the work of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of opulent theatre pipe organs. The unusual context — a military culture transplanted into a civil service style office environment — reflects Potter's own national service during the 1950s. While this piece has the form of a romantic comedy, unlike the less conventional works of Dennis Potter's middle period, it is not without graphic sex and violence, as well as Potter's characteristic flashes of dreamlike imagery. The centrepiece of this production is the surreal musical sequence set to the song In a Persian Market.
2.姚苇对李侠有微妙的情感，基本可解释全片最大的bug
有幸在廣州美術學院看過原膠卷版，非常震撼。10月6日补：有生之年能在影院看到這部黑白轉彩色修復版，值了！
脸谱化的人物似乎会潜移默化地带动人对好人的同情，对坏人的讨厌……

现代谍战片的师祖，无数桥段被反复致敬模仿，但从未被超越。
人物原型是我的校友，还是很自豪的。当年去延安看到的宝塔山可真不像片子里面拍的如此有性意味。。。当然这肯定不是主创的原意。跟风说一句孙道临真帅。“不！我需要工作！”
两颗星全部给抗美援朝的战士们，雪是冷的，而血是热的，电影拍的真差…剧本生硬，台词尴尬，只有燃烧的经费，但是那个咬着女儿照片的军人还是很让我难过
姚苇这么高的水平怎么被派到前线了，留在后方当老法师不香么？天亡“党国”啊！
王心刚遇到孙道临，当然只能是反派了。上海多迷人！2021-10-11彩色修复版，上海更加迷人，但人却没那么迷人了，脸上像涂了厚厚的油彩。死气沉沉的。
孙道临的李侠那是经典，小时候的最爱之一。那时候人物都是高大上的，没办法！
永远缅怀李白烈士；电报声的运用串联了银幕里的空间，其他表现手法其实中规中矩，但是李侠的人物形象是稳定的，也许也是因为他符合人们心中对共产主义革命者的想象。
“同志们，永别了，我想念你们。”让人潸然泪下的台词，有这一句足矣。
——向尊重历史的上色师、修复师傅们，致敬！
“他点划清楚，清澈的像一汪清水”
到底谁帮谁适应环境呀，组织那时候还管发对象的。蛋糕应该吃一块的，不然多假啊，为啥不租个顶层带阁楼的屋子。最大的疑问点，为什么不在家里弄呢?方便逃窜吗？或者只有在高处才能发电报?这么绝密的情报就登报了，组织没有保护好地下工作者啊。最后这反派听出来是李侠真的有一种奇怪的CP感。看完了，情节曲折，节奏明快，人物形象伟光正，还是不错的，发现老电影的转场是各种牛批。最后，向革命先烈们致敬!
修复得很清晰，当时很用心拍的一部主旋律电影。
2021.09.24 终于啊 不消逝的电波结束了
黑白经典老片的制作水准永远值得相信，老演员的颜值和演技更加碾压当今一票资本傀儡饭桶。而彩色高清重制的效果加成就更是绝赞了，调色带来的鲜活效果和个别场景的惊艳质感（我几个瞬间以为自己在看天使爱美丽或者水形物语），岂止是黑白转彩色那么简单。
先码后评。向色彩修复的老师们致敬，没有谍战片的紧张度，侧重点点到了爱国主义之大义，可翻拍的点还蛮多的。
易烊千玺饰演的万里的成长线真的很让人心疼，战争让一个少年迅速衰老三十岁…
