A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

一部由遗憾组成的电影。与女友分道扬镳的遗憾，与朋友天人两隔的遗憾，与成功一步之遥的遗憾，汇集成这个温暖又心酸的故事
哎，太戳了，29岁还在等待机会的剧作家，到底该怎么坚持下去。这里头的歌我都挺喜欢的，日常小灵感捕捉而成的小歌很多，加菲演和唱都相当努力，久违的baby V一开口我就仿佛回到那个夏天。LMM第一次当导演，感觉那种死线逼近的感觉做紧凑一点会更好。
明显不如爱乐之城，音乐和舞蹈不突出，除了凡妮莎其他演员也不吸引人，故事也不算流畅。
tick、tick，不仅为急于成功者、绝症病患而响，它是如此公正，以至于每一个人耳边，都应该响着这样的声音——生命苦短，快去做你想要完成的事吧，「黒髪の色 褪せぬ間に，
艺术创作者具社会责任感是好事，但请先跳出自我感动的圈子，通篇现实与理想的矛盾撞击，关于所谓的“关注社会问题”的毒品和艾滋等只存在于枝蔓当中些微带过，如果不了解Jon的生平，也很难理解他的年龄焦虑。拍摄手法和布景还是太舞台，包括加菲的表演在内重点都在于谷情绪，创作者的传记侧重在创作是无可厚非，但对于人物塑造会不会太单薄？还有最重要的，音乐真的过耳即忘，也不是不好，就是还不够。我个人是很能get那种燃烧生命为了一件事的人物或作品，但不包括这一部。
承认自己没有才华
“一瞬间你就死了，一瞬间你就过时了”sad😥and you might have to keep on writing and writing until......
片子和演员都没什么问题，关键看观众能不能投入感情，可惜观看过程中我的感情无处投放，可能音乐剧粉丝感触会更深吧。
一方面要有艺术天赋，另一方面要有恒心和运气。第一个方面就已经淘汰掉这世上99.99%的人了。
影片是乔纳森拉尔森的个人传记片，讲述充满音乐剧才华天赋的他是如何在穷困潦倒一文不名的时候坚守梦想最后终于成功的故事，他创作的最成功的音乐剧《吉屋出租》在百老汇上演了13年，可他却在《吉屋出租》出演第一场前因病去世了，可谓是悲剧天才。
滴答，滴答……嘣！
创作者们都知道了要写自己了解的事才能打动人，于是越来多的作品就是聚焦于创作过程本身……歌太密了吧，还挺洗脑的，让情绪一直跟着节奏律动，故事虽陈旧还是能让人投入其中。
why do you write like you're running out of time...
肉眼可见的那种好看，时刻感受着扑面而来的热爱与执着，生活与事业，友情和爱情，相互对照彰显出「人生处处是舞台」的真谛，歌舞不错，加菲表演出彩。
不应该叫tick tick boom，应该叫tear tear boom！简直催泪弹一般的存在！加菲贡献出了极精湛甚至有些灵魂附体一般的演技，无怪乎国外有人给出的评论是今晚没有看到加菲，而是看到乔纳森拉尔森回到了人间待了两个小时！观看此片的时候，桑德海姆也离世了，了解到桑德海姆虽然并不看好拉尔森的作品类型，但是对他不懈坚持的精神还是大加赞赏的，觉得拉尔森就差那么一点儿运气，晚去世两天，就可以亲眼见证自己的成功，见证自己改变了当代USA音乐剧的表现形式！要我说拉尔森就是被自己的矜矜业业全力以赴不放过任何一个锻炼自己作曲能力的要强精神给累着了！此外喜欢磕cp的也满足了，毕竟两个现在分道扬镳的前情侣都演了音乐剧电影。还有就是这片是真宽街团建，肉眼可见好多熟面孔！催人泪下，值得一看！
因为对主人公和他的音乐剧都不了解，前面看起来还是有的不知所云，到影片后半段才渐入佳境，里面的歌曲是真好听。
三星半。剧作的部分不错，是我喜欢的一种结构，也是我去年琢磨最多的一种写法，依赖于形式感，这个剧本更显得完美，细节的衔接很好，这样显得剪辑也很自然。尽管最主要的内容感觉还是歌舞片类型老生常谈的内容，但确实做到了一种成熟的处女作扎实和轻盈兼具的气质。加菲的表演没有能够走出以前遗留下来的影子，舞台上的部分仍然和《天使在美国》那套戏一样，不过歌舞的部分他的肢体还是很好看的。
穷困潦倒还能一片赤诚追逐梦想，真羡慕，真佩服。
