《痴心女子负心郎》是由刘易斯·艾伦执导，雷·米兰德安·托德杰拉丁·菲茨杰拉德特邀领衔主演，该片于1948在美国发行，不到几个月收视率非常不错。
Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage she meets Milland a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London Todd settles into her home taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives moves in and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend Fitzgerald in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley however learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety Todd poisons Huntley then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd in a jealous rage kills Milland then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout with Milland shining as the cad the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
