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.
四個人排列組合都挺好看，灑脫大方的茱莉亞全場最佳。不需要預設一定要找到某個類型的人才合適，說不定找個反差大的用心處下來也會有火花。不同選擇支線的同一場景下鏡頭穿插還挺有趣的，四個主角都有可愛之處不討人厭，所以換種組合排列也不錯，唯一的敗筆是出軌支線，讓兩個女角一個歇斯底里一個寬宏大量……怎麼看都很別扭。
enmmmmmmmmmm.........就很boring
虽然不现实还有点老套，但是在跨年的时候看点俊男靓女圆圆满满皆大欢喜的故事有谁不喜欢呢~

会长与保洁小妹，上一次看这种设定还是在万万没想到里
挺好看的，不要一看网大就给低分好吗。挺有诚意的作品
林允儿的声音太好听了！！！！想拥有这样的叫醒服务 和姜河那这条线比较有意思 四星给他俩
勉强四分 在2021.12.31这个特殊的时间看 都是熟面孔啦！时间点很有意义，不过导演给韩智盿安排的这条感情线有点牵强。
其中一个男主外形性格完全踩在我的点上 现代爱情故事 挺有意思 也值得学习
演员阵容其实真的不错 可惜了剧情 但整体看着也蛮开心～
林允儿的声音太好听了！！！！想拥有这样的叫醒服务 和姜河那这条线比较有意思 四星给他俩
群星璀璨，故事俗气老套，三星水准，节日氛围加一星。
灵魂伴侣究竟是悖论还是真实存在，坚信存在但并不一定会发生在一生之中
结论就是不存在什么soulmate 就看俩人过不过得到一块儿
金英光的岳母旧情复燃年轻时因特殊原因而分手的旧情人郑镇荣
无缝切换，陕西话这就是“”乱爱“。看的迷迷糊糊，想法挺好，但是因为文化差异，加上故事剪切，有点乱炖，看得晕乎。
天时地利人和的爱情概念很新颖…剧情很无聊看的想打瞌睡zzz顶着学习意大利语的动力煎熬看完
集合这么多好演员，搞了个什么鬼。一般电影能有3条线并讲清楚就不错了，这有尼玛7条线…线多又杂，每条线都讲不清楚，每个演员都像客串。高中生，老年再会，灰姑娘，明星这4条线完全融不进主线，拼凑的简直离谱。这算什么合家欢，合家无语合家浪费时间才对。
创意不错，探讨了爱情的几种搭配可能，但剪辑稍乱，有时会懵。几个演员挺灵性的，就是有点话痨。
没有传统的完美大结局，就跟我们的生活一样，总是抱有遗憾，才会倍感珍惜吧。
