    It is said that Lawton's first choice for the male lead is Gary Cooper. If COOP takes over this drama, it will be a great disaster for his...

    9 points. This film turned out to be the only directing work by that fat man...

    The plot, especially in the second half, is a little random, but the photography and soundtrack are so good, from the first shot, there is a feeling of "you must appreciate it on the big screen". Mitchum and Gish's performances are very extra points [Actually, he is fanned by his singing circle...

    Real cow. So lovely. The following are open questions: What makes this film sexist? The filmmakers or the sociocultural factors within the story? Is the pastor gay? If so, does it make this film...

    【8.3】Women are such darn fools except Mrs Cooper! ! ! A few shots, the scene design is so beautiful! The script is really stupid and lacks details, but it serves this religious atmosphere completely. Although the children are cute, I really want to strangle Pearl and Ruby with my own hands! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !...

    There are no flaws in the script, performance, and photography, especially the refined and beautiful lines. The best movies always express deep doubts about human nature under the guise of a "good ending." Are human beings really worth living on...

    Film noir and expressionism highlight complete evil, but there are also beautiful shots that show goodness, which makes the film unique. The strong religious atmosphere not only shows cults, but also real religions. Showing both good and evil so beautifully at the same time is unprecedented. 2017.12.09 Rewatch the British Film Festival, the giant screen magnifies the evil nature of the movie, it is very cool to...

    The combination of expressionist photography composition and such a black crime story that combines elements of innocence, religion, adventure, suspense and other genres was indeed unusual enough at the time. Robert Mitchum calmly created a very pure but complex villain in film...

    Recently, I was watching IMDbTop250, and I said that this is really the most ugly one. If it has no connotation (it is related to God, it is a masterpiece?); I want the atmosphere to have no atmosphere (all ruined by bad acting skills). The rhythm is messed up, and occasionally there are a few unfounded emotions. The unbelievers hear so much how God is so annoying, and the lighting is not bright. where to...

    If movies must be classified, then this one is an exception. It would be too rude to forcibly give it a category. It is fantastic, religious, and horrible. love and hate are too famous. It started here. The pastor may be an impotent person. He belittles women, and his rhetoric on the wedding night...

    Endless black

    In the movies I have seen before, there are very few heroes in the movies who are outright bad guys. In a noir movie, the protagonist is also good and evil at best. There are always some aspects that can satisfy moral standards or popular sentiments. But this film is really dark to the extreme. As...
