      broken soul tonight

      Jean Simmons is not that beautiful. I haven't seen the "Hamlet" and "Great Expectations" she filmed in her early years, but in this film her face looks too dry, her cheekbones are vicissitudes of life, and the close-up also exposes her large but not delicate facial features. Maybe it's the black and white light and shadow that accentuates the imperfections of the face, and some scenes look much more delicate and plump when the light on her face doesn't...

      "Soul Broken Tonight": Elegance and Horror

      If death does not constitute the judgment and pain of life, how much temperament does a woman have to face the sweetness and strange horrors of life?

When Mrs Tremaine is mysteriously poisoned by gas, ambulance driver Frank meets the elegant Diana.

      The pure image of Jean Simmons plays the role of a femme fatale. Mitchum's role will remind people of the detectives in "Outside the Vortex". They are all deeply involved in conspiracy and death....

      If she loves less, not so extreme. If he doesn't fall into the same river again and again, or if he is less upright and more perfunctory. But if those can be established, it is not film...

      What exactly does the heroine plan to do? Her father's death is not in her calculations. She finally found out because of her conscience or she has too much affection for the hero. There are a lot of mysteries about this role. If you can dig a little deeper, All right. I really like the scene where the heroine finally wanders in the empty house alone with the help of the choppy...

    Movie quotes

    • Frank Jessup: [to Mary] You know something? You're a pretty nice guy - for a girl.

    • Frank Jessup: [of Diane's 'evil' stepmother] ... If she's tryin' to kill you, why did she turn on the gas in her own room first?

      Diane Tremayne: ...To make it look as though somebody else were guilty...

      Frank Jessup: Is that what you did?

      Diane Tremayne: Frank, are you accusing me?

      Frank Jessup: I'm not accusing anybody. But if I were a cop, and not a very bright cop at that, I'd say that your story was as phony as a three dollar bill.

      Diane Tremayne: ...How can you say that to me?

      Frank Jessup: Oh, you mean after all we've been to each other?... Diane, look. I don't pretend to know what goes on behind that pretty little face of yours - I don't *want* to. But I learned one thing very early. Never be the innocent bystander - that's the guy that always gets hurt. If you want to play with matches, that's your business. But not in gas-filled rooms - that's not only dangerous, it's stupid.

    • Mrs. Catherine Tremayne: Charles, at times your charm wears dangerously thin. Right now it's so thin I can see through it.
