自《那夜的妻子》后已没见这么绝望的小津。战后作品中,只这一部发生在严寒的冬季,亦只这么一部,探往破碎家庭那缺去的一员。已出嫁的大女儿没法与丈夫相处,回到父亲的家寻找避难所;未出嫁的二女儿忽然怀了孩子,夜夜到夜店等候负心汉的出现。与父亲下属私奔多年的母亲,突然闯进两女儿的生活,可二女儿打掉孩子后,再没法承受残酷的现实。戏剧化的故事在小津晚期作品中不多见,但低调的处理手法炮制了不少经典场面。母亲在辞别东京的列车上不断探头张望女儿一幕,几乎预见老人晚境将至的凄凉。豁达面对生命,是小津往后作品的出路。
对两对夫妇来说,未来在不同的年代和不同的地方展开,但隐藏的联系将以一种无人能预料的方式把他们带到一起。
A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp. Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain. This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming. One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played. - JohnHowardReid, imdb
