红楼艳史剧情简介：

都說勇者無懼。輕歌劇原是當年已然式微的物事，劉別謙逆流而上一再帶到水銀燈下，竟成為開創荷里活歌舞片的大功臣。第二部司花利亞與珍娜．麥當奴的鑽石組合，重拍已成經典的《迴轉姻緣》。劉別謙原意只充當監製，導演筒假手佐治寇克。開拍不到一周，節奏亂套的毛片沒法通過我們超高班監製的關口，一聲令下劇本重寫影片自己接手重拍，演員與編劇不但沒怨言甚至還皆大歡喜。故事與原作大同小異，形式卻南轅北轍，司花利亞的演繹更傳神抵死，一曲＜美芝＞妙得神魂絕倒。大小配角心思中見豐富血肉，劉別謙與編劇拍檔拉弗遜的化學作用開始顯現。 This oscar-nominated musical remake of The Marriage Circle was originally George Cukor s baby, but Lubitsch took over the helm, resulting in a famous lawsuit. However, Cukor later conceded: I could never make a Lubitsch film. The scene is transposed from Vienna to Paris, and focus shifted from the unhappily married philanderess schemes to steal her best friend s husband, to revel in the sheer verve and sexual desirability of Chevalier and MacDonald - both to others and to each other. Overlapping lines, recitative song interludes and Chevalier s direct address to the camera invite audience complicity in the characters transgressions and set the film apart from all-singing Hollywood musicals.
