痴心女子负心郎

　　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. 　　译文(3): 小说家Joseph Shearing专门使用发生在维多利亚时代的英国的真实案例，并将其修改为虚构目的。1947年的《玫瑰》是第一部由他的小说改编的电影，1948年，他的两部作品被改编成电影，这部电影和《凯恩的印记》。这部电影由托德主演，她饰演一名最近丧偶的传教士，从牙买加回到英国的家中。在航行中，她遇到了米兰德，一个迷人但危险的流氓，因与一些令人不快的交易有关而被警方通缉。Milland在船上感染了疟疾，Todd护理他恢复健康。在伦敦，托德定居在她的家中，收留寄宿生以维持生计。Milland来到这里，搬了进来，并宣布了他对她的爱。托德很激动，但很明显，米兰只是在玩弄她。Milland发现了她的朋友Fitzgerald写给她的一些信，Fitzgerad在信中透露了她在性方面的一些轻率行为。由于Fitzgerald现在嫁给了富有的Huntley，Milland相信他可以利用这些信件敲诈Fitzgergerald。托德对米兰的爱是如此之深，以至于她同意了这个计划。然而，亨特利得知了这一阴谋，也揭露了米兰德阴暗过去的细节。由于担心爱人的安全，托德毒死了亨特利，然后在菲茨杰拉德因谋杀被捕时保持沉默。米兰现在已经真正爱上了托德，两人计划离开英国。在他们离开之前，Milland的一位前情人出现了，Todd在嫉妒的愤怒中杀死了Milland，然后向警察自首。
