Beauty contest winner Patricia Knight's one bid for screen stardom was Columbia's Shockproof. Knight plays Jenny Wright, a convicted murderess paroled in the care of probation officer Griff Marat (Cornel Wilde). What begins as an aloof professional relationship eventually blossoms into romance. The fly in the ointment is shady Harry Wesson (John Baragrey), the gambler who inveigled Jenny into committing murder. The girl is torn between creature comforts offered her by Wesson and the promise of a clean life offered by Griff. This early Douglas Sirk effort contains a smattering of the stylistic touches which distinguished his later work.The screenplay was written by famed director Samuel Fuller, known for his gritty realism and hard-boiled style. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
女主山寨版海华丝,当然挺好看的(和男主是夫妻档,可惜未能长久)。结尾太雷了
很精致的伪黑色电影。亡命鸳鸯只占很小一部分,但依然是“疯狂的爱”——假释官对一个被指控谋杀的女假释犯的迷恋,驱使他带着她逃亡。结尾的自首与和解不难看出在瑟克创作中家庭情节剧的强大主宰力量。
正直假释官为爱情不惜违法,铤而走险,陷入僵局,再加入女主摇摆不定,其前男友嫉妒阴险,往后的故事走向就应该是由白转黑,一黑到底啊,结果非常无语。比起来女主移情过快、草率枪击,结局才是真的离谱,只能说前男友一定是被打坏了脑子(还想不想拍成黑色电影了)。。。
女主角虽说不差但让人不舒服,结局反转太快没有说服力。男二号倒是个型男。
很言情的Noir。结局大囧。
