    Ealing Comedy enters the age of color. It is obviously adapted from Fritz Lang's famous German expressionist "Dr. Mabus" series (the crime gang leader in this film is named Dr. Marcus), and there are many deep references to German expressionism, such as the The subsidence and sloping old English villa, the sloping stairs, the hidden suspense paragraph before Dr. Marcus's appearance, the invocation and play of "Shadow of Horror", and the selection of actors. Among them, Robinson, one of the five...

    The first time I watched Yilin's comedy, the play is really exquisite and harmonious. After the theft was over, the good show was staged; the string performance was used as a cover to neutralize the evil spirit of the thief's identity in the comedy (Guinness fully presented these two words); and a most traditional old lady was arranged as an opponent, The difference in the number of one-to-five and the huge contrast in image not only creates a perfect dramatic tension, but also lays the...

    classic in black humor

    British comedy can be so good

    The first is to like the tones of this old-fashioned film, warm, peaceful, and bright.

    The soundtrack directly expresses the character's emotions, such as the old lady's hesitation when she opened the door to the thief for the first time. This made the old man directly...

    Ealing black comedy classic. highly recommended!

    The appearance of the protagonist of the film, the landlady, is quite metaphorical. At the gate of the police station, she stopped to tease the baby in the stroller. As a result, the child suddenly burst into tears. This really startled her, and it also caused the mothers to look coldly. The...
