In 1947, an amendment was made to the Production Code that cleared the way for the production and release of films dealing with drugs, and Hollywood wasted no time driving through the "drug" door. (Drugs still couldn't be smoked or used free-will or for receation, though.) While not the first film to take www.tuikan.cc advantage of the drugs-can-be-used-when-essential-to-the-plot loophole, this Mary Pickford production for Triangle Productions made certain the use of a drug was most essential to the story of "Sleep, My Love." It is no "spolier" to say that the plot of this film (since the audience is let in on it real quick like)puts some unidentified drug into the hands of a two-timing husband (Don Ameche) trying to murder his wife (Claudette Colbert) by driving her insane. His motive is his love for the very-leggy Hazel Brooks, who is fond of parading around in transparent garments, all the better to make the audience understand his motive. And, unlike Miss Colbert, she had no camera bad-side. Being a man of patience, a virtue Miss Brooks' character doesn't share but virtures is not her long suit to begin with, Ameche drugs Colbert's nightly night-cap of chocolate, then bundles her onto a train where she'll wake up screaming in Boston, or he will suggest to her---this is a memory-losing drug---she should jump off the balcony into the river, or he has wild-eyed men chasing her and claiming they are psychiatrists. In the morning, when her head is clear, he just shakes his head sadly at her nightly misadventures and tsks-tsks that she just needs a good long rest...and he intends to see that she gets one. This cheers her up no end. Go to bed dear, and he will fix you a nice cup of hot chocolate.(It is not known if Timothy Leary saw this film and got an inspired Brownies recipe from it.) What happens when Robert Cummings and George Coulouris show up does contain the spoilers.

基本从女主第一次昏倒那里开始全片就没有任何紧张感了，很多剧情桥段都很扯，考尔白本来就自带喜感，男主一个劲儿插科打诨，全片宛如喜剧片，但到中途连笑点也不怎么有了，阴谋基本都一目了然，主角们也不是很让人关心，考尔白和卡明斯没什么化学反应显得爱情戏很拖累，只有个别场景和镜头还挺吸引人的，催眠片段拍得倒是很好，但是催眠对我来说实在是太雷了，完全无法认真对待。

老态毕现的考尔白继续扮演惨不忍睹的傻白甜，对于「催眠」近乎神话一样的刻画延续至今，唯有影片中罕见的「中式婚礼」以及其中相当正面的华人形象令人耳目一新。

课上老师提到这部电影，1948年访美演出的上海国乐联合会在里面客串留下珍贵画面。丝竹之声、中式婚礼也是影片一大亮点。但电影本身的剧情和演员却不敢恭维了。

瑟克好莱坞早期的悬疑片从不遮掩悬念，又拍得如此引人入胜，情绪的力量早已从考尔白第一刻惊醒时便刻入影像中。
