Joanna also tried her best to show the fashion style of World War II in costume design, exquisite The costume makes the charming French actress Marion present a noble and elegant feminine charm, in the gentle romance to glimpse the capable and handsome side of women in the wartime background.

    Holding hands with you in the banquet hall is a business that hurts a thousand enemies and hurts eight hundred; kissing you in a sandstorm is your tenderness, and I fight bravely; the truth is revealed and you run away because you don’t know the origin, I don’t ask The end of enmity. The kiss on the wedding day in London is as light as a cicada's wings, and Casablanca's look back is like blood pouring into my heart. You brought Anna in the fire, but I failed to take you away in the rain. Going to bed in troubled times is innocent, but falling in love will last a lifetime.

    A romance film in the name of espionage. Only relying on the love of appearance supports the audience to watch the movie, because the story is indeed very routine.
