While surveying a telegraph line in 1861, Western Union engineer Edward Creighton (Dean Jagger) is severely injured in an accident. He is discovered by Vance Shaw (Randolph Scott), an outlaw on the run from a posse. Forced to travel on foot after his horse was hurt, Shaw at first considers stealing Creighton's horse, but changes his mind and takes the man with him, saving his life.
Sometime later, following his recovery, Creighton returns to Omaha, Nebraska and plans the construction of a telegraph line from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. Facing considerable opposition to the line from Confederate soldiers, Indians, and outlaws, Creighton elicits the help of his sister Sue (Virginia Gilmore), foreman Pat Grogan (Minor Watson), and assistant Homer Kettle (Chill Wills).
Looking to put his outlaw past behind him, Shaw arrives at Creighton's Western Union office looking for honest work and is hired as a scout by Grogan who is unaware of his past. Creighton recognizes him among the men and allows him to stay despite his suspicions. Creighton also hires tenderfoot Richard Blake (Robert Young), a Harvard-educated engineer as a favor to Blake's father. Shaw and Blake are both attracted to Sue and vie for her attention, but their romantic rivalry is cut short when construction of the telegraph line starts on July 4, 1861.
After work commences on the line, one of the men is killed apparently by a mysterious band of cattle-rustling Indians. Unconvinced that Indians are to blame, Shaw rides out to investigate and follows the rustlers' trail to the camp of Jack Slade, a former friend and cohort, whose gang committed the killing disguised as Indians—the gang Shaw left following his last bank robbery. Slade reveals that they are working for the Confederacy to disrupt Western Union because they believe the telegraph service will help the Union. Shaw rides away and returns to the line. Not wanting to turn in his former friends, Shaw tells Creighton that a large band of Dakota Indians stole the cattle, and recommends that they simply replace the herd and not risk a fight with the Indians.
Sometime later, a confrontation takes place between men working on the forward line and a band of drunken Indians. When one of the Indians tries to steal some equipment, a nervous Blake shoots him, ignoring Shaw's order to remain calm. After word arrives that the main camp is under attack by other Indians, the Western Union men rush back to help with the defense. At the main camp, Slade's men, who are again disguised as Indians, steal the Western Union horses. The company discover the ruse when one of the wounded Indians turns out to be a white man. Forced to buy back their stolen horses from Slade, Creighton becomes suspicious of Shaw's involvement, especially when he admits to knowing the gang.
Soon the U.S. Army arrives and announces the Indians have now refused to allow the telegraph lines to go through their territory in response to Blake's shooting of the drunken Indian. Creighton, Shaw, and Blake ride out to convince Chief Spotted Horse to allow them to build the line through Indian territory, even though the man Blake wounded was Spotted Horse's son. Creighton is finally able to persuade the Indians to allow them passage, and work continues until the company approaches Salt Lake City.
Sometime later, Shaw receives word that Jack Slade wants to meet with him. On the way to see Slade, Shaw is captured and bound by Slade's men. Slade says his group is going to burn down the Western Union camp and they don't want Shaw to interfere. After Slade and his men ride off, Shaw escapes from his ropes but arrives back too late to prevent the fire. He helps rescue some of the Western Union men from the flames and burns his hands in the process.
After the fire, Creighton confronts Shaw for an explanation, but Shaw does not reveal what he knows and is fired by Creighton. As Shaw leaves the camp, he tells Blake that Slade is actually Shaw's brother and that he, Shaw, will find Slade's gang and stop them from interfering with the telegraph project. Shaw rides off and finds Slade and his men in a nearby town. At the barber shop, Shaw confronts his brother, whose gun is concealed under the barber's sheet. Slade shoots Shaw through the sheet. Shaw fights back in spite of his wound, killing some of the gang members, and then dies. Blake arrives and continues the fight with Slade who dies from his wounds. Soon after, the Western Union line is completed and the workers celebrate. When Sue laments the absence of Shaw, Creighton tells her that Shaw can hear them.
完全是被中文名《玉面情魔》吸引进来，画面极美，剧情叙事极慢，前半段太过拖沓，属于慢热型剧情。“骗子终被骗”的故事太简单，但电影整体完成度高，人物有血有肉，结局男主变成自己当年鞭子下的 geek 这一点则太过宿命。但三位主角都是玉面，观感极强
242nd 黑袜西装皮鞋的布莱德利库珀真是优质的sugar daddy，我愿意为他交出virginity。确实很不公平，男人40多岁成为已婚奶爸后依然有着性吸引力。
第94届奥斯卡BP领衔凑数影片。找出本片翻拍的意义，比找出入围的理由还要难。
凯特大魔头出场很晚，戏很少，没担当大反转，动机也离谱，1941年的女心理医生，处心积虑向一个小人物证明自己足够强？
京阿尼麦麸不行，但是搞细腻感情真的有一手，每次看之前都“服了怎么到处都在端水和刻意的官配”，看完之后又觉得那些小小的东西都被京阿尼攥在手里，好好地织出来给你看了。卖得雨露均沾，像是用概率公示算出来的，但是稍微想开点就是因为友情而聚集的一群人的情感就反而好嗑很多……总之就是再怎么嫌弃也还是会看的番，这辈子就是有点反骨，爱从批量官方饭中自己抠点别的糖来吃。看到最后就变成：大家都好可爱啊🥺
服化道都很好，看着也很好，但是这个故事就完全照搬原版、几乎没有改动，这么原模原样的用新技术重新拍了一遍，这就让人觉得这样毫无全新内容和解读的翻拍到底是为了什么呢？而且，片长也算是个问题，第一幕马戏团的部分有点太长了吧，2个半小时的全片也是没啥必要的长了。
想打人，期待了那么久，就这？魔兔五年再聚就这玩意儿？
超级好看，爱了爱了，里面的剧情我太可以了。
冈村第一次当担人设总作监，人设基本沿用的西屋第三季那套美型，作监整得有些糟，线条有些油，不过貌似是你京最近风格。未来阿姨带新人单挂总作监也是奇观。令人欣慰的是多田文雄后继有人，水的作画略僵硬但还是强悍。再次发觉内海是多好的一个监督。
陀螺标志性的影像风格，前半段马戏团的表现力极强，服化道也精致的无可挑剔。但是这个故事。。。冗长乏味，Kate大魔王根本没啥发挥空间啊，感觉就是在努力向femme fatale上靠。
观影过程中一直产生一种奇怪的感觉，就是老觉得这男的颜值不配跟这仨女的battle，老想把他换成拉尔夫费因斯😂
开头很有趣，到后半程冲突部分有些乏力，结局是能猜到的，但总体还是很有趣（也有前半部分太长的原因吧）
最后突然替身攻击掰一个，京阿尼你好会，后篇讲啥我已经预料到了
没看过老版还是吃故事这套的 塔罗牌最后一张猜到了倒吊人
几天时间全系列刷完了 画风和画面的流畅度都称得上一绝 半身和特写镜头几乎完美 不过全身镜头就很容易出现崩掉的比例 整体看下来 因为剧情走向没有什么太意外的地方 也没有觉得很热血… 但有时候不太想看运动番是因为最后一定会因为升学、毕业而逐渐变成失去高光的大人，在回去看第一季就感觉真的内心复杂。
用史诗片的时长去翻新一部黑色电影，无疑是一种暴露短板的做法，陀螺这位导演编剧部分比较弱，但独特的电影审美依旧很在线，服装道具化妆场景仍然是好莱坞电影中的第一梯队。只可惜在这个画质越来越高清的时代，翻新一部黑色电影大概率只会落得既不卖座，又没口碑的下场。但我仍然会为陀螺这次勇敢的尝试，表示肯定。
用一个充满水分的一线男星来炒冷饭，配料再足也不够味儿。视听享受、故事道理和表演张力还是缺一不可啊。。。
7.1 陀螺在后半部分的改编比原版更脸谱化，一旦这样，人物塑造也没了意思，果不其然，后半部分非常“走剧情”。但前1小时的马戏团扩充改编太好了，如果可以，更想看到一部纯粹的陀螺马戏团电影
最后十分钟成功拉到2星，真的没矛盾就嗯造呗。前段虽然程式化，乱炖下对个话再来点回忆渲染下羁绊几乎贯穿全片，但整体是舒畅的，关系处理也跟作画和演出一般半油不油，但不至于太腻歪。但最后为啥突然犯病。河浪你是香港电影粉丝吗？也玩突然癫狂这套？
50多分钟,正片才刚开始，然后我就睡过去了。
