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."
这些年争议很大的一个话题，仁者见仁智者见智，我觉得没有绝对的公平也没有绝对的自私，尊重人性吧
也没看出来那点像是A New Era了，故事拍得相当乏味。不过这倒是提醒我去重看一遍『霍华德庄园』。
唐顿真正的「情节」在第二季就结束了，拖着一口气靠层出不穷的日常插曲和幽默讥讽的台词一直撑到现在。最多能说是电视加长番外篇，即使以默片进入有声时代，楼上楼下阶层挪移的设计嵌入电影内部拍摄电影的互文结构，本片依然是一场呵护保守主义，凌空时代病症的美梦，和电影没有任何关系。英式贵族文化的奇观消费从立意上就和无情解剖等级制度的原作大相径庭，失去能裹挟群像推进的主线剧情之后，进入「养老」模式的唐顿和满足风情观光的观众达成共识，于是病态促成于传统价值「大团圆」的结局成了剧本的唯一要务。每一个角色都值得幸福——是的，多达四十个的人物之中有一半都始终坚信侍奉主人致死是最完美的人生，这张泡沫巨网十多年坚韧如初。
当然啦，该爽的地方依然很爽，只是希望文戏能更精彩。
算是tv版最喜欢的一篇 另外跟小鸟说话的炭治郎好可爱
对应TV版 Ep11-14 引出我妻和猪男 故事延续。
BD：2021.12.19：TV版动画11-14集的合辑篇，以为是剧场版；有点上当的感觉，
开始有点像机械姬。好无聊啊，空洞无物还要演这么久。20211231
滿足預期的精彩，就是故事結束的太快了，希望內容能更豐富一些。
打个怪、结识两个新人用了一整篇，对比浅草篇的丰富，给人一种世界观骤然缩小的感觉。
编剧是有些连连看配对强迫症的，唐家屯上上下下相关人士就没有没个伴儿的，除了赛博老太太，她走了故事也就真正结束了，Mary和她也越来越像，继承遗志的真正掌舵人。我已从大小姐颜粉转为声控了。
虽然没办法抠细节，但作为粉丝向电影我希望这是大结局了：猝不及防与唐家屯灵魂人物老太以及巴罗告别，感觉的确是新的时代。马修古迪的全程消失是本篇的败笔。
当然啦，该爽的地方依然很爽，只是希望文戏能更精彩。
仆人的本色出演，全上银幕（跟第一部里大家都顶替皇家仆人，一样的大团圆修辞）
从剧集开始，我想《唐顿庄园》最可贵的核心精神都是关于“变化”；角色从悲剧与变故里更好地前进，用新的方式来迎接未知的时代挑战，找到足以改变人生的那个人。2019年的电影，因为架构的访问桥段和着意烘托的典礼气氛，至多是次不够精湛、兵荒马乱的重温。但这版电影的回归，无论是副标题的《全新世代》，还是透过电影史的变化来本身烘托这些改变，都重新扣紧了这个核心精神。所以它很值得再发生，并始终邀请愿意为其买单、也乐意见证这些变化的观众们参与其中。除去古迪子没有回归，角色群庞大导致繁重，它已经足够完美；而且“例行让我检查Thomas桃花运”的“使命”足够可爱，awwww 需要更多！
就说为什么托马斯怎么一声不响的就要走了，看时长删了4分钟，果然是删了吧
🍎好喜欢搞这种科技奇观但是故事体量其实一集40分钟美剧就能说明白的温情科幻…男主还是不错但是这个故事明明还是BC当年短片Inseparable 比较好看
鬼灭之刃
把男主内心的挣扎表现得细致透彻，整体的基调比较压抑缓慢。
三人组相遇啦~~~谁会不爱善逸小可爱呢？又有谁会忍心伤害祢豆子呢？！
