New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."
Turn 30 in 1990
就是把tv版的剪辑了一下，不过也好，帮助我重温了一下之前的回忆，毕竟很多剧情都忘记了。
30岁生日第一天看也太巧合了 前面20分钟一直想要呐喊谁在偷拍我的生活 然而后面的成功部分就与我无关了呵呵呵呵 总之是一个很棒的传记作品，就算是音乐剧形式也并不难接受，而且确实和人物很贴合
太爱这部电影了，加菲我是夸累了。
相对没那么跌宕起伏的故事，换来的是可以全身心投入到传记所展示的对音乐、对生活毫无保留的热忱中去。音乐很好听，融合得很好，也没有喧宾夺主。有关susan的歌曲绝佳。
故事，歌曲，表演都不錯，但舞台音樂劇與電影的那種違和感從頭持續到尾
叙事没有什么新颖之处 但情绪推动到位了 给加菲比心♥
神烦前辈装逼桥段，但不幸的是几乎是少年漫标配。
由TV动画《鬼灭之刃》第22话-第26话整合而成的特别上映版。“我要守护那些生命，再也不让蛮不讲理的单方面掠夺发生，再也不让任何人体会到和我们一样的悲伤！”一切才刚刚开始，人类与鬼那壮烈卓绝的血战也将迈入新的篇章，相信这场跨越千年的恩怨将在炭治郎他们的时代彻底画上休止符。
Susan在屋顶天际边唱歌的时候我哭了，然后我以为柳暗花明了，但是生活真的好难，追求梦想太难了，艺术的无止境太难了。
叙事是片段式的，对于不了解传记片主人公的观众会觉得混乱。用音乐串起情绪效果很好。加菲的表演其实不够深入，演唱部分倒是卖力。
30岁时最好也最让人绝望的一句话就是：你很棒，继续加油。加菲的造型太像大山了
tv版混剪的合集，不过想了一下如果日本观众可以在大屏幕看到也还是蛮幸福的
30岁时最好也最让人绝望的一句话就是：你很棒，继续加油。加菲的造型太像大山了
剥开音乐剧的壳，内核就是个三十岁焦虑的故事，不是粉丝，没有共鸣。
这种形式的musical还挺想看现场的呢 加菲唱功一般般容易出戏 音乐剧改编电影总归有点尴尬 老实说感觉音乐也一般 只是因为是和本人经历有联系所以觉得歌的内容不错
人物故事层次相对简单 音乐还好 视听比较商业类型
这是一部让人心潮澎湃的电影！是一封写给音乐剧的情书！故事以闪回、以现实与音乐剧巧妙结合的方式推进，聚焦百老汇传奇剧作家乔拉森·拉尔森30岁前后的创作焦虑与人生困境，展现了他实现音乐梦想的无比执着和赤诚。Tick，Tick，Boom! 贯穿全片滴答作响的时针，营造了时光流逝男主年届三十一事无成的焦虑和压力，烘托了气氛。
加菲太棒了！剧本节奏非常好…惊觉奔三路上有你有我，仍一事无成，时间tick tick..生命流逝
天才早逝。一个热爱音乐剧、希望将其作为毕生事业的年轻人整日在经费不足、灵感难寻、好友挚爱愈发不理解的夹缝中生存，眼瞅即将跨过30岁大关，却还没有拿得出手的作品让世人铭记。当一切成为过往时，他可以用戏剧化的语言、歌曲去调侃，而那些所能展示出的纠结、痛苦恐怕已不及百分之一。作为百老汇与好莱坞炙手可热的当红炸子鸡，导演在片中埋了不少彩蛋，只可惜阅历不足，无法全面体验那份惊喜和感动。以及看起来有必要补一下《rent》了。
