A 24-year-old divorcee, Betty Preisser, a receptionist for a clothing manufacturer, takes some office work home which her boss, widower Jerry Kingsley, a man of 56, drops by to pick up. Professional rather than personal acquaintances, Betty tells Jerry of her loveless marriage to George, a musician. Jerry has a married daughter, Lillian, about her age, and a spinster sister, Evelyn, who is very protective of him.
Jerry works up the nerve to invite Betty to dinner. He meets Betty's mother, Mrs. Mueller, and sister Alice, who share the apartment with Betty. Their relationship grows, but she professes to be reluctant to date her employer. Jerry wonders if their age difference is really behind this reluctance. Despite this, a May–December relationship between them develops.
Female family members of both of them strongly disapprove. Mrs. Mueller calls him a "dirty old man," while Jerry's sister calls Betty a "fortune hunter" and him a fool, although Lillian's husband Jack offers his congratulations, earning scorn from his wife and causing them to quarrel. A colleague, Walter Lockman, trapped in a long and unhappy marriage, urges Jerry to do whatever it takes to find true happiness.
George returns to town and tries to persuade Betty to return to him. In a moment of weakness, they have a romantic tryst. Betty regrets it and explains to Jerry that it meant nothing to her emotionally, but he feels humiliated. His sister observes how depressed Jerry has become when he returns home. At his lowest ebb, he learns that Walter has taken an overdose of pills in a likely suicide attempt. Jerry sees it as a sign to seize the joy in life while he still can. He returns to Betty's waiting arms.

整体感觉是很不错的,前半段两个人相爱的小情绪,后半段因为各自家人和自身心魔的困扰,都刻画得足够真实。马奇脸上的表情太棒了,我完全相信他因为这份感情、或者说这份人到中年后依然能被人渴求的感觉而兴奋与不安,诺瓦克则是过于神经质,让人觉得女孩这一方太不稳定随时随地甩下老头就跑,所以我不太看好这个结局,也许明天大后天,这两个寂寞的灵魂又会重新动摇起来。屈塞太惨了吧,编剧是跟他有私仇还是怎么……三星半

Paddy Chayefsky的本子真是叫人细思恐极(尤其是联想到戏外他跟Kim Novak有婚外情,还为此跟妻子提离婚),中年丧妻的男主重新在年轻貌美的女人身上找到爱的激情,和妻子携手多年的男配觉得自己的婚姻毫无爱情可言、甚至要闹自杀;青春正好的美人出轨都可以被原谅,年华老去的妻子被刻画成男人悲剧的负责人。我觉得在那些男权色彩浓厚的本子里,最可怕的一类就是这种实际上对女性毫无同情心可言、还要打着... Paddy Chayefsky的本子真是叫人细思恐极(尤其是联想到戏外他跟Kim Novak有婚外情,还为此跟妻子提离婚),中年丧妻的男主重新在年轻貌美的女人身上找到爱的激情,和妻子携手多年的男配觉得自己的婚姻毫无爱情可言、甚至要闹自杀;青春正好的美人出轨都可以被原谅,年华老去的妻子被刻画成男人悲剧的负责人。我觉得在那些男权色彩浓厚的本子里,最可怕的一类就是这种实际上对女性毫无同情心可言、还要打着爱的旗号裹上一层糖衣的作品;它找寻着各种借口,来论证只有拥有青春与美貌的女人才值得被爱。 (展开)

耳畔不禁回荡起张艺兴那句咒:男人至死是少年。

March演的太好了,尤其是从初次约会到热恋的过程,那种紧张和狂喜,活脱脱一个第一次约女孩出去的小男生的神情。好奇这部影片是不是更早的涉及到了弗洛伊德心理学(恋父/兄情结)可惜订婚后情节就有点泄了,结尾一顿反转猛如虎【所以屈塞又做错了什么

是哪种爱就不纠结了,各取所需就好。对女主的母亲表示无语,Fredric March比Spencer Tracy帅多了好吗。
