Michael Redgrave + Margaret Lockwood，繼《貴婦失蹤記》再合作。斷裂感較強，前1/3直視礦坑、工會、罷工等讓人想起30s英國紀錄片傳統與英國憤怒青年電影的題材，頗為驚艷；中間1/3因主角太蠢為愛盲目跟渣女結婚（書呆不懂人情世故啊⋯），有點愛情cliche亂入甚至喧賓奪主；後1/3因礦坑淹水重返寫實題材的張力，可是愛情線反而旁置了。看Michael Redgrave怎麼仿口音。困境中的男性，反英雄面刻畫。Michael Redgrave通常鄙視電影，推崇舞台表演，可是他是社會主義者，對演出此片感到驕傲；Carol Reed稱之為a gloomy little piece，斷絕關係，希望票房慘敗，殊不知戰爭時期的英國觀眾很捧場。XD
sober tragedy, sleep on it :'(
