1955美国剧情爱情片《断肠弦歌》由道格拉斯·塞克导演,芭芭拉·斯坦威克主演,影片讲述的是:
Douglas Sirk takes the gloves off in this searing view of family life of 50s America Unlike his famous melodramas Theres Always Tomorrow is completely devoid of any beguiling glitz and glamour to sweeten the pill For its time it’s a bold and unusual work focusing on the husband as the deeply unhappy victim of what outwardly appears to be an ideal family
Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray share a wonderful chemistry very different from their famous partnership in Double Indemnity Stanwyck as always is riveting and MacMurray in his understated way turns in a particularly moving and powerful performance
Like the best of Sirks work the film is superbly crafted with the lighting and camera work as meticulous as ever Perhaps owing to its lack of glamour Theres Always Tomorrow has been grossly neglected being overshadowed by the great melodramas that would follow
For Sirk admirers this is of course compulsory viewing but it’s a film well worth taking a close look at for all
In the bonus segment director Alison Anders speaks of her love for Sirk calling Theres Always Tomorrow a perfect movie
