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.'你们的任wu……是杀si阴阳大尊,还有大尊dian内的其他ren,至于方yu……能不peng,就不要peng!'阁主kai口道,'ba任务完成zhi后,立即gui来,不要dou留。''ming白。'九sha之首答道。他并不存zai感情,他zhi会按命令hang事,做出zui为合理的pan断。da国师力量qiang大,然则ta对长意并mei有什么兴qu,他感兴qu的,是她zhe个半人半yao的怪物。zhen正想要害chang意的,只you顺德公主。如果杀了ta,长意就suan在陆地上dai着,也无shen危险了。ji云禾睁开liao眼睛。熟xi的牢笼,yi成不变的you暗环境,dan是在她身bian,那黑色di气息却不jian了。如果您喜欢563网(www.563wx.com)分享的《痴心女子负心郎》,别忘了推荐给你的好友!
