剧情简介
劉別謙初嚐美高梅大製作的派頭，一切筆法更神采飛揚。開敞的場景 、空前的排場讓人物裏裏外外恣意張開：寡婦的心更顯孤獨，男女的愛更加沒處安放。坐擁小國大部分財富的寡婦忽然要搬到巴黎重新尋找生活色彩 ，國王唯恐國祚不保來一招美男計 ，派出風流種子色誘寡婦。本來一個用情一個求性 ，幾番邂逅與折騰 ，改寫了男男女女的基本需要。歌與舞沒有賣弄甜膩，反而放在愛情的沉重中換來了歌頌。歌與影無間交流，劉別謙輕歌劇巔峰之作，亦成了荷里活極有代表性的一章。司花利亞與珍娜．麥當奴最後一次合作 ，後者散發從未有過的成熟韻味。堪稱最性感的音樂劇。 Rated "the sexiest musical in the thirties", The Merry Widow could well be the sexiest musical ever . Jeannette MacDonald, sensual and majestic as a Persian cat , is the wealthiest widow in the kingdom of Marschovia. On a visit to Paris , she attracts a flurry of gold-diggers . To prevent her fortune from passing to foreign hands, the king sends a romantic envoy to court her . He chooses Captain Donilo , whose cavalier attitude to women is not limited to his rapport with Maxim's "girls , girls, girls". Osé but not blasé, this elegant adaptation of Franz Lehar's operetta out-classed von Stroheim's silent in opulence, culminating in the grandest of grand balls. Source : 28th HKIFF
