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.
当然了，即使剧情简单，但剧情的发展还是让人很受伤，唉……不过，两位女主的表演真的很好，性张力也很足，棒棒哒！
太喜欢这一对了！没有那么多非现实的浪漫桥段，而是像所有中年情侣一样担心着生老病死、头发变少、父母关系，傲娇渐渐学着坦率表达，也会面对面地认真吃完每一餐饭。又学到了新的菜谱，希望能有第二季呀！
出人意料的好，真诚且流畅。席导说拍爱情故事是“when you remember what it was like to fall in love, you remember the steps that led you to that kiss” ，这部电影正是因为拍出了这些两人之间互相靠近的 “Steps”而显得格外动人（就是这个教老让我觉得像是个洗脑组织，很难接受这个宗教差异的背景）
宗教让她们在一起，也是宗教把她们分开，为了一个不可能到来的paradise，信徒放弃了自己触手可及的幸福。所以你说这是一个同性电影也好，一个关于信仰与爱的绵延不绝的纠缠的故事也是可以的。
我对这个片的滤镜已经厚到人生中第一次觉得中年人的患得患失好可爱！吃醋也好可爱！
for Beth and Marike's mother
可恶，那些小细节，那些恐慌，那些爱而不得微表情，她们好像什么都没做，可是又什么都做了，对于我。
看的不痛不痒，就是没有打动我
我愿你拿着细细的皮鞭，不断轻轻打在我身上。
“史朗，你说过年只有你和我一起过也不错，我听到以后真的很开心；还有，你说好害怕我生病死掉的时候，我也很高兴……我一直在想，能像这样一直和你在一起，真的非常幸福，但你和我不能只有彼此而已，我们不可能光靠自己活下去，所以，你跟父母的感情要变得更好喔……”，“贤二，我想跟走在这里的每个人炫耀你的好！”，“你学我——”
基础元素是传统百合片屡试不爽的套路——宗教与禁忌之爱的碰撞，婚姻与“在别处”的抉择，但是心依然被眼神流转间的温柔触动，圣经上的指尖碰触，祷告时的对视，受洗后的亲吻，背过身去的拥抱，以及最后，磨损卷角的明信片。“那里和我们想象得一样吗？”“你应该出现在那里。”最后的对视令人心碎，两个女孩都好美。
看的时候想起了《Disobedience》，信仰的力量这么强大吗?

哈哈哈糖分超标！！！金发超适合kenji~~（焦糖苹果哈根达斯吐司必须要实践一次
结尾真恐怖，结了婚的那位面容憔悴，没结婚的那位神采奕奕，这大概是个反婚反育片吧，宗教信仰不是两人被迫分开的理由，而是在于自始至终根本就没有想明白要怎么过好属于自己的人生。
乞丐版《违命》，演员表现一般，靠摄影配乐营造情绪，而后者又过于雷同，非常腻，远没有评价这么好。这类片如今在豆瓣越来越忽悠，原因都懂，呵。
违命前传（x/女主长得像McAdams和火吻的私生女😂姬片编剧们是不是得了HE困难综合症？？结局什么东西啊！封建迷信不可取！You should been there.
吃代餐吃傻了，有一天终于吃上了想象中的正餐，反而无所适从了。
没违命厚重但却更吸引人，暧昧期的各种小细节让人脸红心动，厕所那段更是尖叫！感情饱满张力十足~
内野圣阳的演技真的太好了，举手投足都是一种温柔。没想到今年最治愈的电影竟是一部同志电影，片尾曲也很棒哦👍
