这居然是张爱玲美国丈夫 赖雅的编剧？！ 超前的世界末日题材，空无一人孤寂坐在纽约美林证券门口的镜头太震撼了
世界上剩下的最后一个人，有着绝对的自由，却还佯装自己活在社会之中…在我这种离群索居的人看来极不靠谱。主角说“people will talk”的时候似乎是高度意识到荧幕之外的spectatorship的，有点意思。
Loosely based on Shiel's masterpiece, it begins good, but from the arrival of the girl it all goes downwards. Pity.
【Criterion Channel】绝大部分人类已经死于核中毒，幸存的黑人青年、白人女子、白人中年男在纽约荒城演出「嬲」字局面：爱欲冲突。片头注明张爱玲丈夫Ferdinand Reyher的贡献为screen story（剧本故事），编剧则为导演本人（Ranald MacDougall，他编剧的Mildred Pierce《小团圆》也提到）。郑树森译片名为《世界，肉体，魔鬼》我觉得较佳。阒无人迹的纽约街头酷似当代封城时，黑白的末日后都市影像，也很有视觉冲击力。对种族歧视的中肯反映与黑人心理的细腻刻画都常青不败。乐观的结尾我觉得很有赖雅手笔的感觉：张爱玲大概陪他第一时间观看了此片，何年何日的事？赖雅日记里应仍查得出记载。即使它与张毫无关系也是四星佳作。
人物冲突的点讲得不太明白，显得勉强，但对性别和种族的观念还是超前那个时代的
