一部給低估了的傑作,鑑於前作被指離經叛道,劉別謙改拍童話式故事,拍出令德國人瞠目結舌的格調與清新幽默感,論者認為它比《卡里加里醫生的密室》更應名垂青史(兩片其實是雙生兒,只是主角一個作惡一個行善)。不肯成長的男孩被叔父強迫娶妻,玩具大王借女兒的模樣造出機械公仔,演出一幕騙婚記,但竟弄假成真。幕開只見我們的導演跑出來,用紙板砌出人與物,接着疊現真實畫面。戲演下去,所有場景透視詭異,道具有時索性繪在牆上。全片優美且自由奔放,活像頑童開心炮製的藝術品。值得一看的還有德國默片女星奧茜奧華黛的傳奇身影。

戲名難免使人聯想到食色「性」也,但慾望的對象?對不起,卻是個男兒。美國蠔業大王有個刁蠻女,一天覺得自己非要嫁人不可,被媒人相中的落難歐洲王子派出心腹試探虛實,蠔女一聲多謝馬上拉去註冊結婚,當晚大排筵席,酒飽飯醉後只差沒半點洞房動機。直至窮王子真人現眼前,慾望傾瀉得一發不可收拾。女性情慾在劉別謙筆下從來都很坦然和直接,蠔女這荷里活女性原型,令後來者亦甘拜下風。揶揄資本家與消費社會的大場面可觀亦抵死,筆觸細膩幽默。劉別謙第二部長片,是他打造品牌之作,驚人的成熟導技令人擊節復感動。
Everything Lubitsch learned about the art of comedy in his German period comes to a grand summation in this saber-sharp satire on the cr...
