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.
没有一个女人愿意在亲手杀死自己孩子的阴影中继续活下去。各位姐妹，远离暴躁的男人吧，你甭管他妈是在工作中还是生活中，情绪容易失控的男人，咱就远离吧。毕竟，命要紧。
这种脾气的911接线员应该会坏很多事儿吧？然后，观众并不想看到他在马桶里吐的东西是啥颜色。
以这种小格局的悬疑片来说，本身在有限时间内调度节奏就很有难度，这片还要把大段的时间往主角救赎这个主题上凑（甚至临近结尾你才明白导演的意图），导致主线剧情完全沦为次辅、剧情输出匮乏、张力完全不够，玩深度咱换个类型片玩不行吗。
杰克努力了，但真的无聊又烂，连基本的叙事都没能完成。那个被伤害的儿子到底怎么被伤害的为什么被伤害没说清楚，针对电话那头的男女主的说明也不够…
无聊压抑，一个人，一个电话，演了一个电影，电影成本只有5000美元电费钱。
跟原版比起来基本没啥改动，全面了解到911接线员的系统还是很先进的，想查啥就能查啥。Joe太神经质了一点，感觉都有点淡化悬疑感了。
所以伊桑·霍克呢？就吉伦哈尔一个人在那边努力加班，加班就算了第二天还蹲号子了？漂亮国就这样欺负打工人？这电影海报我以为是猩球崛起番外篇呢
我没看过丹麦原版的，所以觉得很不错：演员，剧本。
距离原版还有有差距，演技无懈可击，剧本过于简单空洞，翻拍没有新意
独角戏的救赎，通过拯救别人来拯救自己。人都是多面的，一念成魔，一念成佛
“真相使人自由”
你可以一直信任杰克的演技，翻拍虽然没有原版精彩，但是杰克奉献了教科书般的独角戏。
cliche，便宜但是剧本🉑️。Broken people save broken people.
结果就是两个神经病乱搞。😡但还蛮扣人心弦的。
得力于原作文本的强大和美国电影工业的发达，这部作品几乎是复制了原作，但音效和布景的提升把一部文艺片也成功打造成了商业电影。不过就质量来说，化简为繁反而成了立意的阻碍#吉伦哈尔的演出真是卖力，但原版的角色无论发型和情绪控制都要更胜一筹
由一个演员撑起的整部片。四星为吉伦哈尔演技給的。心碎人救心碎人。深呼吸
杰克努力了，但真的无聊又烂，连基本的叙事都没能完成。那个被伤害的儿子到底怎么被伤害的为什么被伤害没说清楚，针对电话那头的男女主的说明也不够…
杰克•吉伦哈尔表演Master Class。
大背景逻辑几乎没法信，911接线员发现警情从头到尾都是自己处理？自己的专业知识，自己的私人关系，甚至自己的个人情绪，都是影响报警电话最后结果的因素，有点太儿戏了吧，所以报警还得看运气是谁值班接的电话？全片独角戏配上吉伦哈尔有点癫狂的人设，讲道理其实不太容易沉浸，有点尬，再加上报警女懦弱胆小的性格甚至有点倒胃口，哎，费劲。。
只能说翻拍得毫无新意，不过哈伦吉尔最后几段的表演还是蛮厉害的，可惜这个人物在前面又拍成了一个暴躁狂，没有原版角色看着那么舒适，整部电影也是过于扣细节了，对于主角处境和情绪的代入不太顺畅，标准的网飞电影产业水准线
