七月圣诞的剧情介绍,
An office clerk loves entering contests in the hopes of someday winning a fortune and marrying the girl he loves. His latest attempt is the Maxford House Coffee Slogan Contest. As a joke, some of his co-workers put together a fake telegram which says that he won the $25,000 grand prize. As a result, he gets a promotion, buys presents for all of his family and friends, and proposes to his girl. When the truth comes out, he's not prepared for the consequences.
票房再高,也不是卡普拉;票房再低,也是《毒药与老妇》。
四星半,短短一个小时却折射出了40年代资本主义的发达,人性的市侩,人怕出名猪怕壮的后续效应(提升职位,私人办公室,百货商店推销一大堆商品贴心服务),被戏弄后最后结局又反转到男主中了头等奖,可谓讽刺又微妙的喜感。“贫穷是世界上最糟糕的事”,一个细节表达出了有钱后的发达,战时丝袜是稀缺
If you don’t sleep at night, it isn’t the coffee, it’s the bunk! 剧本太好了!看似离奇荒诞,却满是对社会和人性的讽刺。当你有钱、被全世界认可时,说什么都对。当你是个无名小卒时,永远得不到一个机会。结局点睛之笔。Dick Powell难得讨喜一次。
篇幅不长的喜剧小品,普莱斯顿·斯特奇斯还是一样的辛辣讽刺,不让人失望。
有点马克吐温的味道。
這是我看的斯特奇斯的電影中最喜歡的一部了 很喜歡這個劇本 終於沒那麼反感迪克·鮑威爾 艾倫·德魯很漂亮啊
