The charm of old movies lies in the stories and actors. There was no high-tech equipment at that time, and many movies were done in the studio. However, the actors' makeup, hairstyle, clothing, and home decoration are all meticulous, and the other is the life thinking that the compact plot echoes the reality. After Joan Crawford won the Oscar for this film, I just thought that the title we translated was a bit shady, but it also makes sense that the sea of ​​desire and the love of mothers go deep into the devil. The film describes a woman who is self-improving. Her husband reprimands her for doting on her daughter, disregarding her family's strength to meet her daughter's material needs. , and a nobleman who bought his house to run a restaurant and became rich later, during which the youngest daughter died of illness, which made the mother's love for the eldest daughter inexhaustible. For the daughter's vanity, the daughter was not grateful for what the mother did, but always Looking down on her mother's hard work to get rich, she said that her whole body smelled of oil smoke, and she hoped to live a decent and elegant life like an aristocrat, and forced her mother to marry that noble playboy, which eventually led to tragedy. Is it the daughter's responsibility? In fact, the root is still in the education of the mother, and the laissez-faire of the father. The film still has its educational value to this day.

    It is also the mother's fault to teach such a daughter

    Material desires must be controlled from the very beginning, and material desires are used to make up for the family relationship due to the divorce of parents. Coddling makes people irrational and challenges too many moral bottom lines. Daughter Vader's betrayal of her mother, Mrs. Milder, is the subtlety of the screenplay. This is often the case, no change is better than change, and when there is a conflict between husband and wife, cooling down is better than making another decision right away to skip the issue.
