A typical English lady, elegant, with serious patriotism; a seemingly cynical sailor, sloppy, loves to drink small wine. How did these two "something happen"? Because of destiny or war, the two of them got on the same steamer and went down a river on the African continent to do something in a big lake downstream.
In the drifting journey of the two alone, every highlight gave a qualitative breakthrough in the relationship between the two. At the beginning, Mr. Allnut and Miss Sayer were disagreeable to each other. When the drifting ended, they were already "I declare you husband and wife—now proceed to execution (poor)."
The first frank meeting was overnight in the rain. The pitiful male protagonist and reason struggled with the heavy rain for a long time. He wanted to get into the covered cabin, and was yelled out by the lady, but his kind nature took him in again. , And silently held up an umbrella.
The second time was to ride a torrent with a hidden reef together. Life and death were uncertain. I didn't care about the etiquette and reservedness. I just wanted to drive the boat over safely. Finally, the disaster passed and suddenly found that the two people had been hugging each other tightly. Then he tried carefully and delicately. The sweet heart-to-heart night passed, mm gently prepared breakfast and asked his eldest brother to get up, calling "Mr. Allnut" and he pretended to sleep, and when he called "darling" he turned over It looks so cute when I get up. Then there was a god complaint "dear, what's your first name?" The
third time I met a lot of African animals, the male protagonist showed his magical powers, learned from hippos and monkeys, he learned vigorously, and fully demonstrated his lively, humorous and childish side. , The lady mm was so amused, and further locked up.
The fourth time I encountered the reef again, but the main function of the danger this time was not to enhance the relationship between the two, but to reflect the skill of the older brother’s technical house through the ship crash, repairing the ship, repairing the stove, ironing and welding, and 18 martial arts. Kind of proficient.
The fifth time was when I was trapped in a swamp, the boat ran aground in the mud covered with water and grass. I couldn’t move forward and couldn’t find the direction. The eldest brother jumped down and tugs the boat with brute force against the rope. Leech. I originally thought that the reality of such a "towboat" was denied. But he didn't expect him to pull off a body of bugs, caressingly looked at mm with comforting eyes, and jumped out of the mud with a tragic look.
the sixth time. . .
Seventh time. . .
At this point, the heroine doesn't show her body and promises that even I can't stand it anymore. What kind of superb man is this, who is polite, brave, humorous, skilled and not afraid of difficulties and willing to sacrifice. . .
But how can these advantages be fully demonstrated to a mm? This movie tells us: take her to drift. The premise is that you have to have these advantages. The main premise is that you must be able to persuade mm and you to be willing to go rafting with you (in fact, I think this is the most difficult step), or you must have a mm to drift with you.
Of course our heroine is also very good, gentle and brave. Although Catherine Hepburn does not look good here, she releases her feelings step by step for a traditional lady who is bound by layers of etiquette. The process of moving to the true self is well performed, and the details of the movie are also handled very well. For clothing and accessories, at first it was a long dress and a long dress, with a high collar locked to the chin, long sleeves closed on the wrists, hair curled intact, and hats dignified. The first time the torrent passed, it became a short sleeve with lace. After the second torrent, I took off my short sleeves, and went into the water with the man to repair the boat with only a small sling. When I arrived in the swamp, the clothes were marked with slits, they were barely clothed, and the hats were scattered. I didn't know where the hat was. . . (Of course, the premise is that the person wearing her to drift is a good man, so she can walk towards her true self.)
This movie is known as an "action disaster movie", but the special effects are actually very mentally handicapped, like a boat drawn on paper. The water came out, but considering that it was a few years ago in 1955, I had to bear with technology. Fortunately, the story is good.
