剧情介绍
二战挪威的一个小渔村的渔民抵抗150名德军入侵的故事…
American military leader and war hero Robert Forrester, universally beloved and respected within the country and thus touted as Presidential material, has just died in a freak car accident on his sprawling estate, where, during an unexpected rainstorm, the car he was driving plunged over a ravine as he didn't notice the washed-out bridge. While the nation mourns, the national reporters descend on his small hometown to write the story of the incident. One reporter who won't is renowned Steven O'Malley, who wants instead to write an in-depth piece on the man to preserve his status within the public consciousness. Although happy to use official documents and records, O'Malley wants most specifically to speak to his wife, Christine Forrester, which may be a difficult task as she has refused to grant any interviews as a very private person. O'Malley is able to meet with Christine in person, and although she is reluctant to oblige his request at first, she is convinced by Robert's aide, Clive Kerndon, to cooperate with him so as to control the agenda. As O'Malley begins his research, he begins to think that Christine and others around her are hiding something about Robert and/or his death. O'Malley is determined to discover the truth, which he believes may have something to do with: Robert's mother, afflicted with dementia and hidden away in a big isolated house on the estate; Christine's cousin, Geoffrey Midford, who does not hide his disdain for Robert; and/or Jason Rickards, one of Robert's servants, or one of Jason's children, Jason who was once Robert's superior in the military before he was permanently injured in battle and saved by Robert in the process.
真的很平庸的电影 昏昏欲睡 不知所云
斯宾塞很稳，k赫本结尾发挥出色。
一头一尾两场死亡，英雄祛魅，英雄与纳粹分子一线之间
斯宾塞·屈塞 / 凯瑟琳·赫本
"But the general idea is that they try to get us all confused and scared and sore at each other, and then before you know it, clamp, the handcuffs are on us."
原来人们一直信仰的大英雄robert早就失去初心变成了nazi分子 妻子christine为了守护人们的信仰决定让丈夫"光荣死去" 勉强三星 电影成片一般 故事比较无聊
20/2/11:屈塞完全压制住了赫本。
Spence-Kate 2/9 可以看成是乔治库克在拍《煤气灯下》之前对悬疑类型的探索。斯宾塞一如既往地稳，他的“scene-stealing tricks”确实没人能挡住，在镜头下不动声色的闪耀，40年代真颜值巅峰。感觉凯特在这的演技明显比之前的片自然得多了，结尾那长段陈词完全是她在主导。看来和斯宾塞演对手戏确实磨炼演技，另外俩人的对手戏虽然刻意收敛，但是火花还是挡不住，斯宾塞对她说话时明显语气温柔很多，铁汉的柔情和独立女性的柔情一样动人。

斯宾塞屈塞和凯瑟琳赫本领衔的一系列讨论美国国本的电影之一。尽管由不同的导演执拍，可这些电影简直像是连续剧。斯宾塞和赫本，那简直就是美国银幕上的国父国母。代表国内民粹势力的大亨的邪恶，表现在年轻人的盲目崇拜上。女孩陷入带有酒神教徒色彩的迷恋，而男孩则背弃生父，被强人精神所霸占。
自由之火.Keeper of the Flame.
(￣、￣) 跟公民凯恩的故事很像啊。阁楼里的妈妈、单相思的红粉知己等母题在希区柯克的电影里都有运用
台词氛围上偶有亮点，整体是个执行很失败的哥特悬疑片，整个build-up全程找不准方向且过于慢热。
"truly provocative in that it was one of Hollywood's few forays into imagining the possibility of homegrown American Fascism and the crucial damage which can be done to individual rights when inhumane and tyrannical ideas sweep a society through a charismatic leader"
故事讲得并不是很好，但是在patriotism中看到了fascism的可能性这种想法，还是不错
