Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
漫画家真的好厉害……漫画既可以是传情达意的工具，也可以是杀人于无形的刀子。编剧太牛了～
莫名喜欢哎 女主驭人高手 腹黑天蝎配置 柄本佑和喜剧非常搭 但其实并不像出轨男hh 一首plastic love送给大家
蜘蛛侠有史以来最傻逼剧情，没有之一。一句话概括：赔了老人赔夫人，一切都是白忙活
剧情感觉还是比较容易猜，就是表现手法还蛮新颖的，比同类型的作品完成度更高。
4、沉默是最大的打击
这次他接住她了，谁懂我！！！“三代同堂”泪目了
骗人不骗人都是伤害 因为已经发生了。如果早点承认也许还好。没法装下去才会承认为什么喜欢老婆却要去找其他女人 不明白
为什么我觉得算是很有意思的一击，可是冷静下来想一想，凝望深渊久了，是否也会变成恶龙。
双语字幕看起来，居然很多能看懂，学习有进步
七分。日本真的是能把不伦拍出花来。虚实乱眼还好结局舒心。
前半部分三颗星多加一颗星星给
柄本佑这出轨丈夫形象塑造得太妙了哈哈哈 漫画和现实交织，直到最后都不知道妻子身上到底发生了什么，完美的复仇 能创作真好啊！
这个主角是为什么受欢迎？因为大家都喜欢巨婴吗
It’s ok. Not my fav. The dialogue is so lame and too cliché that didn’t work for me. Being nice doesn’t mean with no limit and not to think about the catastrophic consequence. A little kid’s stubbornness shouldn’t be encouraged and act without any responsibility. Hence the script is very lame and not well treated. I am not convinced.
切入点很刚啊。
平平无奇的出轨电影，反转到最后也没啥呀（果然只有预告好看）另，竹内玛莉亚能养活多少人……

这个结尾也太大快人心了吧！干得漂亮！哈哈哈哈
