概览：The novelist Joseph Shearing specifically uses real cases that occurred in Victorian England and modifies them for fictional purposes. The 1947 film 'The Rose' was the first adaptation of his novel, and in 1948, two of his works were adapted into films, including 'The Mark of Kane'. This movie stars Todd, who plays a recently widowed missionary who returns home from Jamaica to the UK. During the voyage, she encountered Miranda, a charming but dangerous thug who was wanted by the police for his involvement in some unpleasant transactions. Milland contracted malaria on board the ship, and Todd nursed him back to health. In London, Todd settled in her home and took in boarders to make a living. Milland came here, moved in, and announced his love for her. Todd was very excited, but it was obvious that Milan was just playing with her. Milland discovered some letters from her friend Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerad revealed some of her reckless sexual behavior. As Fitzgerald is now married to wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use these letters to extort Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milan was so deep that she agreed to this plan. However, Huntley learned about this conspiracy and also revealed the details of Miranda's dark past. Due to concerns about the safety of his lover, Todd poisoned Huntley and remained silent when Fitzgerald was arrested for murder. Milan have now truly fallen in love with Todd and the two plan to leave England. Before they left, a former lover of Milland appeared, and Todd killed Milland in jealousy and anger before turning himself in to the police. This is an interesting movie, although it's a bit exaggerated. The performance from beginning to end was excellent, with Milan playing an excellent CAD role. Although he spends most of his time filming in the United States, he occasionally returns to his hometown of England for production, which is his first British film since 1939's "Tearless French". Director Allen is also a British person who chose to work in the United States, marking his first directorial career in his homeland. This is Milland and Allen's fourth and final collaboration, and their partnership began in 1944, when it was a very eerie film called 'No One Can Reach'.
