It has all the elements of film noir, but it appears in another form, which is very interesting; the whole film is full of unique design sense, and Preminger's treatment is just right. Recall the opening after seeing the end: the camera moves around his room full of collections in the author’s narrative, stopping on the detective and the grandfather clock; in the next shot, the detective enters the bathroom and greets the writer, followed by a quick shake. The writer is really...

Barely pass. The non-traditional noir film begins with the detective and Lola's noisy big-name writer, the old man's ex and the strong little white-faced current (of course, both of them are suspect) to track down the truth of Lola's death. After Lola shows up, you will feel that the plot goes back to the old femme fatale. The routine went on, but in the end it turned into the "unconscious destructiveness" of Lola. What's interesting is that although the plot is reversed, and the narrative...

YSS NOT RECOMMEND Although the film is generally boring and bland, the plot and ending lack suspense, most of the actors lack charm, and the costumes are rough, which is rare in the golden age, the story itself has practical significance across the ages. No matter what era, there is a young woman like Laura who takes advantage of other people's favor but doesn't know it because of her simplicity and lack of heart. I count one myself. Laura and a lot of...

The long mirror at the beginning is very graceful, laying out an extraordinary pattern, and the inking of certain details is quite meticulous; the structure of the characters is simple, but there is also a puzzle around human...

7/10. Revisit,. Use the division of space to accurately establish dramatic contradictions. For example, in the rest room of a cocktail party, a lady in white stands provocatively robbing a man against Laura who is sitting in a black dress. The contrast between black and white and the height of the diagonal composition show the relationship between strength and weakness; The writer first had a conversation with the detective in the bathtub, and then the writer put on his shirt in front of the...

One problem with film noir is the irrational, insensible weight of stakes on women. But for a world who's value was still completely charged by man, what else it is except women? In this sense, the dangerous and fatal figures of women, or more Specifically, woman, is exactly the sigh of anti-feminism, rather than the...

Rewatch, I really underestimated it before, because on the surface the film does appear "literary". Preminger used this calm method to keep the secrets of the character's deepest secrets, but most movies just want to pierce through. It (the movie will end if you pierce it). Although Lydecker's ending proves that he is an unreliable narrator, his narration is also "the...

Technically brilliant: well-paced, well acted, with excellent, well-lighted black-and-white cinematography. This movie is proof that high production values CAN save a lack-lustre plot.
What a plot it has, too! Implausible in development , with numerous loose ends (what did the inspector achieve... -

Regarding the lack of color, movies in the era of black-and-white films tried to make up for it with the beauty of light, presenting a clean and delicate style, which was mostly beyond the reach of color films. According to Bazin's concept of "complete movie",...

Mark McPherson: Why did you say they played Brahms's First and Beethoven's Ninth at the concert Friday night? They changed the program at the last minute and played nothing but Sibelius.
Shelby Carpenter: I suppose I should have told you in the first place. You see, I'd been working on that advertising campaign with Laura. Well, we'd been working so hard, I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I didn't hear a note at the concert. I fell asleep.
Waldo Lydecker: Next he'll produce photographic evidence of his dreams.
Shelby Carpenter: I know it sounds suspicious, but I'm resigned to that by now. I'm a natural-born suspect just because I'm not the conventional type.
