Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
孙道临真的是眼里有光，让人相信我们能看到一整个黎明。
现在想想他到最后被抓或许还是幸事。他如果活了下来，将来再过十几年他反倒更有可能会被打成“特务”，从而让他屈辱的死去……
喜欢看老电影，主要是想透过镜头看以前中国的景，不过这里一大部分都是搭的场景吧。
红色经典啊，不过在电影中孙道临好不容易打入了敌人的内部，对于敌人给的消息我们一五一十报道出来，这样很容易让敌人警觉，让孙道临暴露啊。。。
2021.10.10【黑白转彩色4K修复版 院线2D】
人物原型是我的校友，还是很自豪的。当年去延安看到的宝塔山可真不像片子里面拍的如此有性意味。。。当然这肯定不是主创的原意。跟风说一句孙道临真帅。“不！我需要工作！”
这种电影真的应该经常放给孩子们看，敬佩，热血
尽管那个年代宣传用途的电影说教意味从来都比较重并没有什么意料之外的东西，但这个4K修复加上色的质量还是值得去电影院感受一下。
但对4K彩色修复很失望，虽然是一次尝试，但效果不理想，而且感觉制作态度有问题。一是颜色不真实，近似于黑白胶片上色的效果，不是真实世界和电影的色彩。二是色彩前后不统一，两人的结婚照多次出现，时而是黑白的，时而是彩色的，时而男主是黑白女主是彩色，时而男主是彩色女主是黑白。就一个照片不能前后统一吗？出品方到底有没有完整看过全片？三是上色不完整，前半部分还好，后面有很多场景中只给人物上色，背景维持黑白，很割裂。特别是向女特务汇报李侠再度出现的一幕，占画面大部分的房屋都是黑白的，只有人物和草坪有颜色，就很奇怪。不知道是不是最后着急赶工，导致质量下降。
最好的观后感:我会很珍惜很珍惜今天的生活。

孙道临真的帅 剧作上感觉太过于省略 有些需要铺垫的东西被省略了 整体感觉没出来
加一星，为了孙道临!
李白烈士，您所期盼的黎明，到了。
知识储备不足以评价这种电影。我的感觉结构已经被奶头乐形塑了，只能讲一些直观感受，像温暖的洋流，虽然很多情节都发生在黑夜，却有一种极其明亮的视觉体验。真喜欢兰芬对李侠暗生情愫的段落，想到一个非常反革命的词，“红袖添香”，但这两个人和他们的所作所为恰恰是对这个词最大的颠覆。
水门桥观后感：80分/100分
服化道这才是真正的老上海风情。这大概是王心刚大美人演的唯一反派，小时候看呆了（现在算痞帅痞帅的）小胡子浓密卷发好莱坞小生款，转念一想他是狗汉奸特务[允悲] 。他和一身正气大美人孙道临的互动很有趣
