      Did not meet expectations

      Before I watched it, I always felt that this film should be very exciting, because in terms of IMDB ratings, it ranks very high in the film noir genre, even surpassing my favorite vortex. After reading it, I actually think it's average.

      As far as the plot is concerned, the structure of this film is relatively simple. Although there are certain ups and downs, there are also some unexpected places (for example, Laura did not die, Laura was taken to the police station as a murderer,...

      Black means a film that is not really important

      Black means that a film that is not really important is more appropriate to be regarded as a crime suspense. The columnist played by Clifton Webb is the best in the whole line, and DIVA has the most aura, and no one answers the mouth.
      [Laura, you have an Achilles’ heel. For you, a strong, upright body is your standard for judging men...]
      [I want to tell you a great invention of modern science—the doorbell]

      A touch of light in black

      The plot of Laura’s Secret History is no longer new today. In terms of production, filming skills, and actor expressiveness, it seems to be so bad. Perhaps it is the limitation of the times. There is no way to do better.

          But the most important thing to comment on movies is to put it in the context of that era. This film can be described as an unconventional noir. Before the heroine type was femme fatale, here is a beautiful, kind, and cute woman. This major change makes the whole...

      black

      The film was released in 1944 and is a suspenseful noir film on love. The film starts from the investigation into the mysterious death of a beautiful advertising model Lola. While investigating the relevant people, the detective Mike in charge of this case learned many things about Lola from the mouth of the columnist Waldo, so he hung up on Lola’s home. One of the portraits produced a lot of illusions. Unexpectedly, Lola was not dead at all, the body they found was someone else. Through the...

      3.5 Everyone loves Lola. The opening scene is "killed", but the narrative technique that only appears in the public's mouth is enough to tickle the appetite. The detective can't sleep at the crime scene at night. The scenes where he apologizes to Lola are interesting; the characters rendered in black and white light and shadow ooze the taste of noir. It is a little regrettable that Lola's role is too harmless to humans and animals. The moment she actively kisses the detective, the evil spreads,...

    • Bessie Clary: Her letters. And her private diary. You've been reading them, pawing over them. It's a shame in the face of the dead. That's what it is. It's a shame.

    • Bessie Clary: [about Laura] And it wasn't only on account of the thousand sweet things she done for me. It was because she was so sweet herself... because she was a real fine lady.

    • Mark McPherson: [about a bottle in Laura's liquor cabinet] But she never bought cheap stuff like that; not a lady like Miss Hunt.
