　　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.

　　导演山本萨夫是日本电影界社会派大师，他试图通过五代一家的兴盛、衰落来完成一部日本军国主义的侵华战争史。社会大家庭，家庭小社会，五代家本身就参与了对中国的掠夺和侵略，描写这一家的发展变化自然可以举重若轻地体现出那段时间的日本侵华过程。①本部描写的是日本军国主义的侵华上升时期。影片曾获1970年《电影旬报》十佳奖第二名。②这是日本电影界社会派大师山本萨夫所拍反映侵华战争史的第二部。时间是中日对峙阶段，中国的抗日运动开始发展壮大，五代一家也受到影响。影片曾获1971年《电影旬报》十佳奖第四名。③这是日本电影界社会派大师山本萨夫所拍反映侵华战争史的第三部，描写了侵华战争如何从最初的一往无前到节节败退到一败涂地的过程，而五代家庭也从大发战争投机财走向了分崩离析，家中的成员也在这空前激烈的动荡中选择了各自不同的道路和归宿。三部曲拉开了日本电影1970年代波澜壮阔的社会派巨片的帷幕，这可以说是导演山本萨夫对日本电影史的伟大贡献。影片曾获1973年《电影旬报》十佳奖第十名。
