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.
如果可能，来一个续集《杰夫》
What would Finch do? He'd feed the dog. I'm gonna feed the dog.
强烈建议Apple TV+与Tom Hanks每年合作一片，不仅用本质不怎么大变的故事巩固“人间有真爱”的“台设”，也可以作为一种得体的节庆仪式感为观众送去慰藉。虽然是对《荒岛余生》+《曼达洛人》+一些被熟知故事的狗片的组合，也是没有太多惊喜的末日设定；但这样上路穿梭其中的趣味感以及所贡献的充满魅力的单人秀还是别致、细腻又动人。最重要的是，比之于阴谋黑暗袭来的未知恐惧，更或是无限延伸的脑洞设想；它只关于一个男人，一只狗，一个机器人；化繁为简的感觉原来如此美妙。
常见的末日公路题材，挑不出大毛病，就是保守到有点无聊的程度。Jeff“演”得真不错。
心有猛狮，然而梦想终究高于现实，人总能在追求梦想的道路上慰藉到自己
2021，听起来多么适合作为世界末日的一个年份。
开场和片尾的水墨非常精彩~
如果可能，汤姆汉克斯，再来一座小金人
合格类型片，只要结尾够感动，观众可以忘记前面光铺垫不点炮一笔带过不深挖的剧情。我比较纠结的点是臭氧层破了气温升高，地表还能不能维持一个大气压，有没有臭氧层的区域这么大温差会不会导致刮大风。浅归浅，还是有它诗意的部分。Jeff的口音太像波拉特了，我看老外也都这么说，我一直脑补Jeff说she is my sister。音乐居然是Gustavo Santaolalla写的，完全没有他以前让他扬名立万的拉丁探戈风格。
年度鸡汤大片，超越生命的爱与陪伴，挺适合疫情时代的心态的。本来准备被感动到一塌糊涂的，看完觉得也就那样吧。想到学会了爱学会了做梦的杰夫将孤独地渡过无限漫长的悠悠时光，总有一天goodyear也会离他而去，就感到无限的伤感恐怖。
快进看完的，总觉得开头那部分，我哪里看过。#20220226
“阿甘”27年后还是那套白西装，只不过曾经的目光清澈变成了现在的老骥伏枥。
最后十分钟眼泪不止，他明明没有表情，但我看懂了他的所有情绪，这就是爱！真他娘的又浪漫又悲壮
浪漫的片段，爸爸像施展魔法一样把玉米变成爆米花……感动
爱狗人士即使到世界末日也要纯手工打造一个机器人并且把它的心变成狗罐头开罐器。汤姆汉克斯现在接得戏，大有不屑与人类演对手戏的架势。
三星半吧，不就一个典型的低成本机器人题材科幻片？比《机器人与弗兰克》《超能查派》等没好到哪儿去。还不如《寂静之地》当初给我的惊喜呢。本片基本还是套路，除了机器人萌一点（满口毛子味道英语？）。这个机器人塑造得也太“人性化”，形不成人与机器关系的思考——就当它是汉克斯的傻儿子好了！由于角色只有两个“人”，导致缺乏真正有力的冲突，特别是落入陷阱一场，简直是匆匆带过。结尾回到父子关系上，也缺少真正的情感冲击力，明信片就很套路，金门大桥上的照片墙同样套路。怎么说呢，就是比较简单、温暖，但难有震撼和回味。
美术1星，九连的音乐1星，舞狮1星，剩下段子大合集，毫无创作和反思，甚至是一场催眠
“阿甘”27年后还是那套白西装，只不过曾经的目光清澈变成了现在的老骥伏枥。
三星半。本以为只是管中窥豹的城市打工族，没想到在后半段竟成了最动人的变奏。要是前面能早点来到这个立意就好了。不喜欢是每个关键节点都塞满了编剧逼你燃的技巧，过于套路
好看的飞起来！看到了周星驰和香港电影的影子。很棒！
