    "Sometimes, the one who is never alone is the loneliest."... So the two people who are lonely, the city police who never trust others, and the blind girl in the mountain village who must trust everyone, finally came together . Although there are themes, emotions and golden sentences preferred by legal persons, it cannot hide the simplicity of the story. The film is only eighty minutes...

    I was badly hurt by bad subtitles, and it didn't get better until I watched half of it, but it seems that a large part of them don't know what they are talking about. The subtitles are invincible. If anyone has subtitles, give them another...

    The part about Lupino's co-director added soft light, which skillfully combined Nior and melodrama. The story is actually a process in which a policeman who has always been cynical and used radical means to solve a case faced himself anew in a case and was...

    3.5. In the dark city, a violent man (Taxi Driver?) -> chasing the murderer in the snow (I have seen the earliest noir with such real snow) -> go home. Simple, effective and...

    The part of going to the village to investigate is too bimodal, right? The whole atmosphere of unprovoked resistance is...

    The irritable and capable policeman continued to lose himself in the city. Due to a mistake, he was sent to a distant countryside to meet different people and things to achieve self-redemption. The scene changes and the mentality changes afterward are also quite natural and stylish. The sense of loneliness is very prominent, and the description of human nature is also very good. It is a Nicholas Ray movie worth...

    A policeman's transformation from evil to good----"Dangerous Edge"

    I knew that Nicholas Ray wouldn't be an honest cop movie, and sure enough, Jeopardy turned out to be a morality movie.
