影片是导演希区柯克在1930年根据希恩·奥凯西的舞台剧改编成的。同样这部影片也是被称为“悬念大师”的希区柯克的早期作品。 什么是悬念？希区柯克曾经给悬念下过一个著名的定义：如果你要表现一群人围着一张桌子玩牌，然后突然一声爆炸，那么你便只能拍到一个十分呆板的炸后一惊的场面。另一方面，虽然你是表现这同一场面，但是在打牌开始之前，先表现桌子下面的定时炸弹，那么你就造成了悬念，并牵动观众的心。 《朱诺与孔雀》着重体现战争年代人们的生活状态，精妙的构思以及故事的突然转折，无不体现了悬念的魅力！ 爱尔兰的局势动荡不安，公民党执政，四处抓捕对立派，镇压集会，政府认为地下组织准备起义推翻政府，重建新的国家。 就这样，爱尔兰人民没有安宁的日子，人们讨厌战争和暴政，真想把执政党赶下台，对国家完全失去了希望，每个夜晚都担惊受怕。而且在艰难的日子里，所有人都很难找到工作，“船长”伯尔梦想出海，巨大的家庭债务让他头痛不已，如何生存下去成为了非常严峻的问题。当他走投无路时，朋友馈赠给他一笔遗产解了燃眉之急，可也让他放弃了梦想，他更加懒惰了，不再寻找工作，很快钱用完了，家里又变得一贫如洗，灾难再次降临他的头上，女儿身患绝症无钱医治，儿子也被警察以叛党罪逮捕枪杀，面临灾难，伯尔抛下可怜的妻子走了。
