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.
男性视角 剧情不连贯 激情戏尴尬的我脚趾抓地想跑出电影院，当时忘记评了
往后余生得怎么过下去
我想要你在众人面前与我相拥，我想要你不顾一切与我在一起。
逃不出社会的束缚，在婚礼上戴戒宣誓就是我们对这个世界最大的宣泄
照样喜欢谈善言~~但剧情乱七八糟。。“我爸好锡我” 明明连拖鞋都不自己换（二汶把声还是好好听）
仍然是家庭+社會大環境+意外+責任
一颗给两位女主 一颗给最后的be她们依旧穿上了想象中婚纱 戴上了想象中的戒指 一颗给自己
有点一言难尽……我能理解两个女主高中时期的状态，结局是理解不了。
要是是直人片或者男同片直接一星 这调色 这大柔光 直接把我眼睛看瞎 剧本写得很烂 虽然有两个感人的片段但并不是因为执行功力
狗血但还蛮真实的 两位演员表现都很棒 摄影画面也蛮好看的
爛得不行，直男導演而且還是tvb 出身，意識形態陳舊，不用有期望
其实对于S的选择不是不能理解，但是电影没能很好的说服观众，一段学生时期的恋情多半会时过境迁，双方都走出来再面对遗憾可能会更有认同感。
譚sir的學生的作品，香港新生代女性導演未來可期。但真的，後面一小時一直快進。
其实整体来看剧情也不到四星，只是深夜看电影容易被带入情绪，最后眼泪都出来了，兜兜转转这么多年都是一个人却不能在一起，到底是不够爱还是真的世俗太难抵抗？！
青春期的恋情糖发的有点儿多，有点儿齁儿，不像刀大在“那些年”里那么克制。前半段滤镜太强了，生活感都没了，滤成了童话故事。其实只有3星及格水平，鉴于港片、鉴于题材还是给四星鼓励一下吧
从电影艺术的角度来说，没有什么好说的，很糟糕的体验，滤镜过重导致失真的日系柔光，没有突出的叙事手段，情感激烈冲突的部分也拍得尴尬。故事本身还是有被触动到，虽然很狗血且不太合情理，但真的让我想起了初中时代的朦胧感情。可惜如今已是陌路人了，哎。
过去总抱怨那些以为是对的人不够勇敢 原来勇敢不一定真诚 但真诚必定勇敢
太喜歡要耳環扎破耳垂的情節了，哇！有點心疼李芯悅，雖然不知道為什麼。
最后一刻，心如刀割，暴风哭泣😭 —————分割线—————又看了第二遍，结尾婚礼那场戏依然痛哭😭爱而不得是浓烈的痛楚。
盛装出席送自己深爱的人出嫁，真是杀人诛心。但青春的意义不就常常如此，我们把爱藏进很深很深的地方，假装如无其事地过完剩下的人生。太emo了，需要听一百遍主题曲缓缓。
