Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

黑白电影原是色彩的故意缺失，上色版本的品味存疑，黑白创造出的情感和效果并不是转为彩色还可以重新焕发的。#
虽然很zzzq，人物也脸谱化，但是主角莫名帅，比现在的好看点
向以李侠（原型李白）为代表的那个时代“永不消逝的电波”们致敬！
从今天的角度看表演过于话剧化以及人物设计突出政治化而过于单薄，但剧情设计放在当时的时代背景下还是有些意思，电影名称还颇有革命浪漫主义情怀…
影院看了高清彩色修复版。回忆起小时候在电视上扫到过的黑白版本的片尾，基调很不同。
王心刚遇到孙道临，当然只能是反派了。上海多迷人！2021-10-11彩色修复版，上海更加迷人，但人却没那么迷人了，脸上像涂了厚厚的油彩。死气沉沉的。
服化道这才是真正的老上海风情。这大概是王心刚大美人演的唯一反派，小时候看呆了（现在算痞帅痞帅的）小胡子浓密卷发好莱坞小生款，转念一想他是狗汉奸特务[允悲] 。他和一身正气大美人孙道临的互动很有趣
看完啦，和上一部相比，情节更加连贯，加入了“反战”的主题，视角更加的国际化一丢丢。战争场面没有太多的惊喜，我方高层视角舍去……
想不到这么经典的电影讲的故事这样空洞无力。
还是很有趣的，十七年中很具有代表性的谍战片，王苹导演的拍摄手法非常细腻，刚柔并济，让人感觉到李侠不仅仅是一个伟光正的英雄人物（虽然不可避免地用了很多仰拍镜头来突出他的伟大），更能看到他在日常生活中的细致敏感，体贴入微，对于家人和革命战友真挚和深沉的情感。情节起伏较大，在谍战剧大火的今天，依旧可以调动观众的注意力（虽然到后边叙事确实有些疲软）但是在那个年代能够如此深层次地讲好这个故事，将人物内心之中的伟大情怀很有层次地展现已经很不错了。感觉后边叙事有些过紧了，1949年前拍的时间好长，之后十几分钟结束让人有些猝不及防，不太明白如此优秀的谍报人员怎么就这么容易牺牲了。叠印的镜头语言效果很好，结尾处用电报哒哒的声音和交叉蒙太奇结合很棒，情绪点达到了，有被感动
童年看到的第一部红色革命电影，向老一辈革命者致敬。
文革前的老电影还是不错的，孙道临真是演技派，王心刚很少见的扮了个反派
2.黑白电影，虽然先看的翻拍电影，但是这个老电影依旧给人一种新鲜感，这个看电影不像翻拍的这个电影这样花里胡哨、“抗日神片”，还比较务实，最后死了再见才是剧情所归。
老爸洗澡的时候还会唱：打回老家去……知道出处了……
单位红色电影课看的，非常经典，故事讲得好，镜头语言很厉害，即使现在看也不过时
黑白片时代的谍战经典，彩色修复版依然极具年代感，隐秘战线的英雄们都是特殊材料制成的，为了坚贞不屈的信仰牺牲一切。
略显简单的经典，惊讶于当年就能找来懂点日语的演员演日本人就，我会期待今天有作品能直接超越地下人员现实生活中明码交流的水平，但实际呢…映前介绍片子是真实事迹合在一个人的，细节估计还是平易化了，但想到天亮之前了尽快发出去还是保一下重要人材安全毅然舍弃了后者，还是很唏嘘组织运作的两难。全片十六万多帧ai上色之后资料馆手动逐帧修的一刚，不过还是有墙上照片也修彩了（不会当时小生意人就能照彩吧）之类的问题，也算正常现象吧
谍战片的始祖级别吧，但是整体感觉还是有点老套，包括中间段落的突然释放感觉有点不合情理……其他还好吧
