    [Exhibition at the China Film Archive] The speed of speech is very fast, and the plot is very chaotic. It is also lazy to explain to the audience in a straightforward way at the end. The murderer is easy to see, and the ending is also very delayed. All the characters in the film seem to have simple minds. The fight scenes are also hilarious. This film is not that good either in the 1940s or now. two and a half...

    A handsome detective. Play with all kinds of people in the society, and walk among women calmly. Snakes and scorpions are useless. A shorter comical figure was also used to complement Bogart's "tall". (And very basic, serious...

    How mediocre this film would be without Bogart's performance! Frankly speaking, I really don't like this way of storytelling, I'm used to Hitchcock and find this kind of suspense too poorly...

    Rewatch, plus one star. The place where O'Fat said Houston copied him is at one hour and 24 minutes. The focus is just right, and while the depth of field includes everyone, no one's actions and mental states are completely exposed to the observation of the "movie eye", which is great,...

Spade thought the story was weird and the commission was strangely high,...

    blind worship

    As a blind Bogart fan, adoration clouded judgment. But so what? The star is part of the movie, the movie makes the star, and the star also makes the movie. Bogart became famous because of this film.
    Needless to say, the concept of "film noir", low-key lighting, femme fatales, dark and damp city...
