Chinese audiences are more familiar with the 1981 remake starring Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange , but this first edition is the true classic. The film was shot in 1946, just after World War II. Director Ty Garnett 's description of eroticism was quite bold at that time, and the performances of John Garfield and Judy were also dramatic. Now it seems that the rhythm of the whole film is too slow, but the suspenseful atmosphere of the plot is still well managed. The story has previously been filmed twice in France and Italy.

"Classic" in Classical Hollywood, a modern case against Odysseus. Unlike Nicholson's version in '81, the absolute and only pivot in this one is Lana Turner's lady boss. In white and black, in black and white, everyone revolves around the queen, and everything is slowly and powerfully destroying like a vortex. The queen eventually died in white, but what about Lana Turner in black?

There were so many desperate mandarin ducks in the noir films of that era, and it was still fatalistic. I liked the last sentence very much: this is like a letter you are looking forward to, and you are wandering in front of the door, for fear that you will not hear the doorbell, you Never realized he'd ring the doorbell twice, God is like the postman, he always rings twice, you're usually in the backyard and you can't hear it until the second ring.
