回复 :The least-seen of Mackendrick’s Ealing pictures, The Maggie tells an unusual story of a culture clash between the Old and New Worlds. Its title is the name of a decrepit Scottish vessel whose wily captain blackmails an American tycoon into using his ramshackle boat to move valuable furniture to an island mansion. Mackendrick's precursor to Local Hero applies an almost anthropological interest in the vestiges of village culture in the postwar world to establish an irresolvable dichotomy between Yankee pragmatism and materialism and the penurious charm and superstitions of the islanders
回复 :监狱电影中的代表作,改编自真人真事。桀骜不驯的青年劳勃斯.特劳德被判终身监禁,某日有一只生病的小鸟飞进他的牢房,在他细心呵护下竟然将小鸟医好了。他从此在狱中发奋研究,成为国际知名的鸟类学家。期间他要对抗过分保护他的母亲和粗暴的监狱长,也依旧不改其志,最后透过作家汤姆.加迪斯将他的传奇故事流传于世。导演约翰.弗兰肯海默以严谨手法诠释这个基本上相当静态的故事,虽然没有一般逃狱电影的紧张刺激动作,但气氛依旧紧凑动人。兰卡斯特充分掌握住主人翁的气质和感情,扮演狱友的特利.萨瓦莱斯亦十分抢戏。
