"Long Night Dreams" is a film directed by Howard Hawkes,
Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Dorothy Malone
American suspense thriller movies starring actors,
The film was released in the United States in August 1946
It is said to rank 98th in a book called "100 Must-Watch Movies in Life"
However, the ratings on all major platforms are not very high,
The reason for the endurance should be with Bogart and his wife
This has a certain relationship with the big Hollywood stars of the year
Uncle Qiu searched on the Internet, the age is old, there are many characters, and the clues are confusing.
This is the key reason why everyone complains about it. The so-called adaptation is not random editing.
Cough, digress
Well, in fact, they really didn’t make up any mess,
The reason why this movie is so difficult to understand,
The main reason is that the censorship bill of the American film system was too strict.

Here, Uncle Qiu will supplement the plot analysis after checking the data.
Monopoly hired detective Mano to investigate
Bookstore owner Geiger uses drugs
Bewildered by his little daughter Carmen
Taking erotic pictures to blackmail yourself
And because his driver Owen has always liked Carmen
Out of anger, Owen took the photo after killing Geiger
But then Owen was killed by Brody who followed him.
And Brody wants to use Carmen's picture to continue blackmailing her sister Vian
In fact, the director also has metaphors in this section
Brody once let his girlfriend Agnes sneak into Geiger's bookstore as a waiter
Here, Agnes and Detective Manor once had a conversation about buying a collection of books.
If it is a bookstore waiter who really understands the market, such as the female owner of the opposite bookstore
I’m sure to know something, but Agnes hasn’t even heard of this book.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Brody and Geiger are complicit.
After the incident, he decided to go it alone.
Because the tycoon mentioned that Brody had extorted himself at the beginning
Although there is no clear explanation, but combined with the facts obtained by Brody in the following photos,
Everyone should be able to think of this
Geiger's driver thinks Brody killed his boss Geiger
So he killed Brody in the middle of the night to avenge the boss,
There are also some hints in this paragraph,
For example, when Mano entered the bookstore for the second time,
I've seen Brody rummaging through the store
In fact, it might be money or something, because he knew that Geiger was dead.
So there is no scruples in doing things, and if a Geiger driver sees this scene,
It’s natural to think of your boss being killed by him.
In addition, because of the censorship, many clips have been deleted, so the plot is very incoherent.
For example, the driver and Geiger are gay and have a deep relationship
This is also one of the motivations for the driver to avenge Brody by killing Brody
Sean, who never appeared in the movie from beginning to end,
It was actually killed by the casino owner Eddie,
In order to cover up his crime, Eddie hid his wife,
It was claimed that Sean had abducted his wife,
Then it makes sense for Sean to disappear.
He arranged for his men to blame Carmen for the killing of Sean.
And took the opportunity to blackmail Carmen’s sister Vian for $5,000
In the previous plot, it was also hinted through the dialogue between Mano and Wei An
For example, if you can’t pay, you can only talk to your sister through the wire fence.
This is why she is worried about Carmen’s safety and keeps hiding the truth from Mano.
The director was afraid that the audience would not understand,
Also deliberately added a scene in the final dialogue between Mano and Eddie’s wife
When Mano said that your husband is a murderer
Eddie’s wife not only didn’t believe it, but splashed his face with a glass of water.
But here, Uncle Qiu wants to make a complaint.
Director, you just added the drama and I still didn’t figure out what to do?
(Director: failed to add play? No, you are too stupid!)
Well, after the detailed interpretation of Uncle Qiu
In this way, the ins and outs of the whole thing will become clear
What? I still don’t understand. I expected you to say that.
Don’t talk nonsense, just zoom in on the move, the special version of Uncle Qiu solves the puzzle clue map
