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.
虽然偶尔会哭泣 但要笑得更多 活得更坚强
前半程节奏慢到想快进，最后三十分钟秒变搞笑片，说实话，强烈怀疑是为了国内过审设定的科研说辞，真的是笑死我… （非常适合热爱恐怖片的科研小伙伴一起看一定很欢乐）P.S. Gabriel的超强战力不考虑加入复联么？
其实人生啊，那些“值得放入回忆清单”的部分加起来，能足十年，已算圆满。一个没有悬念的简单故事，但是一个足够美丽的幻境。小松菜奈＋坂口健太郎＋樱花散落，足够啦。
虽然不臭，但是好长 and 男主这演技我真入不了戏啊亲
打动我的不是这个影片，因为叙事节奏实在拖得太水了。但这个本子是真的轻松赚走眼泪，剧本本身的文学性好过影片呈现出来的质感。而且小松菜奈和坂口健太郎都太美好了，所以这股子疼痛感一下就击打到位。摄影和配乐很好的烘托出了这份残忍命运途中的美好，两次时间静止配合樱花飘落，眼之所见就是生命中最灿烂美好的样子。
总的来说就是没什么可夸的，也不够血腥，任何方面都差一点。人物都太模式化了，关爱女主的姐姐，不相信的警察，高潮和反转，照着恐怖片教科书拍的一般。如果说idea有意思，那剧本过于苍白，没有任何的情感表现力是苍白的原因之一。为何要安排一个完美的妹妹？如果她没妹妹，她长期又渴望依赖这种亲情关系，甚至无法意识到她依赖的这个妹妹是恶魔，这不就引起共鸣了吗？我们要看的是人间悲剧人伦悲剧，不是生理变异缺陷，可以在看的同时，要么同情受害者要么是鬼，要么是那种逃离不了的宿命感。如果只有这种低级的生理恐怖，毫无趣味。
剧情是真的没有惊喜，不过画面和镜头倒是相当的赏心悦目，搭配上RADWIMPS的歌，是很棒的MV了。
对深爱的人，体面告别永远是我无法克服的人生课题。RADWIMPS歌声在片尾出现是个意外
经典的，套路的，日式催泪电影。nana美出天际 演技提升很大 抱妈妈那一段着实催泪.
整体idea其实满巧妙的，恰到好处的惊悚和悬疑，最后的反转颇有创意。
故事本身就是催泪的，虽然剧情并不出彩，但是很多情节都设计得很好，声画出色提升氛围感，几度泪崩。
“还要多少个心脏我才能抓住你的手”
色调清新，选角养眼，音乐加分。然而这样的故事已经看了太多遍了，叙事手法也很传统，没有新鲜感。 好像这是第一次看小松菜奈出演的影视作品、但这个卡司表里熟人可真多哪，不妨当做东京都旅游宣传片看？
ps.片尾曲太好听了。
3.5星吧，中规中矩而我没落一滴泪。在想象中与爱人过完一生什么感觉呢
刚好前几天看到一个类似的新闻，女孩以为自己肚子长了瘤，结果……作为温子仁的作品，只能算正常发挥吧。完整版的几个血腥场面还是挺凶的。后面有些许大卫柯能堡的感觉。
剧情如此老套只值两星，多一星给两位主演的颜
如果说温子仁为了迎和当下观众的「恐怖审美」而自甘堕落到这样的水准简直是自毁招牌，而且这个故事的内核——一个男性怪物隐藏在女性身体内肆意作恶，最后需要女性的「自我觉醒」来除恶也太媚俗，而从故事到近于白痴的表演都是简单而幼稚的。
Why does Nana Komatsu say "fools" are so lovely?
故事本身挺普通的，但小松菜奈一哭，我也跟着止不住泪流。
