At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist was inexplicably kidnapped into a house, and after that, they said he was Kaplan. The male protagonist took out his ID card to prove that he was not Kaplan, but the other party didn't believe it at all, and asked him to hand over something. But the hero doesn't know anything. So the other party poured him a big glass of Benbo wine, and put the drunk male protagonist in a car parked on the edge of a cliff. The male protagonist was already very drunk, but still conscious, and drove away immediately. Encountered by the police halfway through and found that the male protagonist was drinking and driving, the male protagonist immediately called his mother and asked her to come and bail him. The male protagonist explained to the police what happened, but the police did not believe it, so the male protagonist took the police to the house where he was kidnapped yesterday, and found that there were no such people in it at all. The mistress claimed that there was a party here last night and the male protagonist yesterday Drink too much late.

They got the key to his room, but when they went in, they found that there was no one at all, and no one in the hotel knew Kaplan. He is Kaplan. Things became more and more strange. The male protagonist went to the United Nations Building to find the owner of the house. It turned out that the male owner was not the one he saw that day. The male protagonist also told him that he did not live there at all, but only a gardener and him lived there. wife. Things became more and more strange, and the scene turned to a place where a group of high-level meetings were held. It turned out that Kaplan was a virtual character who only existed to cover up the real agent. But they didn't come forward to deny the man, or the lives of their agents would be in jeopardy.

He went to the station and jumped on a train, where he met the beautiful hostess who had been helping him. The hostess helps him dodge the chasing police and provides a place to sleep. They have a crush on each other, but I always have a vague suspicion of the heroine's purpose. Later, it was discovered that the female protagonist was the one arranged by the gangster villain to seduce the male protagonist. After getting off the bus, the hostess provided a time and place to meet Kaplan. But instead of waiting for Kaplan, the male protagonist was attacked. The male protagonist hurried back to the hotel and asked the front desk about the room where the female protagonist lived, so he went to the female protagonist. The heroine made an appointment to meet at the auction house, and the hero followed and found out that the heroine was actually the villain's lover. The male protagonist used the means to anger the people in the auction house and escaped from the auction house. But one person found the male protagonist and said that the female protagonist was actually their undercover agent, and the male protagonist suddenly realized. So the behavior of the male protagonist caused danger to the female protagonist. They planned that the female protagonist would shoot the male protagonist in the restaurant, in order to dispel the villain's concerns and win his trust. appoint. But this plan was discovered by the villain's men after the implementation, and they were ready to attack the heroine on the plane. The male protagonist followed them into their house and told the female protagonist their plan. So they quickly fled and fled to President Hill. The heroine and the hero survived and got the thing from the villain.

The plot of this movie is not very good now, but Hitchcock's description is humorous and humorous, and there are many humorous descriptions in it that make people feel the director's interest and give people the desire to watch it. And Hitchcock is very good at storytelling that appeals from the beginning of the film. From the very beginning, the male protagonist was caught inexplicably, and the mystery was solved step by step, plus a few reversal plots are really very attractive. But if I look at it from a suspense point of view, I am more amazed by Psycho. That movie is a work that I still like and admire after watching countless suspense movies. But this movie is more tender.

    The suspenseful techniques that have not settled one after another, from the script to the photography are all at the textbook level. Suddenly I felt that Hitchcock would be quite good in making romance movies, and the way he killed people by airplane was too capricious~~~~~~~

    With such a huge logical error, this film has become a classic =, = The sound effects are not bad, and every set of skirts of the heroine is very beautiful. As for the last train going into the hole. . .
