絮叨无力,Jean Harlow演技不错。
是不是gay的关系,库克貌似没有拍过一部浪漫或者天真的神经喜剧
乔治库克这一片比较一般化。应该是舞台剧的成功限制了影片编剧部门的发挥。喜剧电影的节奏和舞台喜剧是完全不同的。乔治库克也没有多少施展空间。演员倒是都耍开了。不过,这一剧的大萧条背景是个看点----那便是好莱坞电影起飞的契机了。
堪比看油漆变干。作为群戏人物塑造可以讲点效率吗。
只看了Jean Harlow的部分,在喜剧表演方面,Harlow要远远胜过Monroe的地方在于,她用的是真感情,Marilyn想的是“方法”(method acting)。她从不刻意表现夸张,她不假装,她扔手镯就是咬牙切齿的,她一脚踢出去就踢得那么爽快出气。她是电影最本真的一面。
