　　美国中情局助理副局长丹·斯雷特的儿子在奥地利滑雪时突发意外身亡，丹立即单枪匹马飞往事发地展开调查，壮丽而冷峻的阿尔卑斯雪山上究竟发生了甚么一回事呢。。。

　　在根据莎士比亚戏剧《暴风雨》改编的这部影片里，导演格林纳韦充分发挥了奇思异想，展现出大有前途的想象力。普罗斯佩罗在自己的脑海中虚构《暴风雨》的画面，每当剧中人物出场的时候，他就替他们说出了他们的台词。影片完全可以看作是《暴风雨》的另一个新的版本。演员的表演很有分寸，令人赏心悦目，观众也会有一种享受盛宴的感觉。当然影片给观众所提出的挑战也非同一般，显然只有熟悉莎士比亚的《暴风雨》的观众才能更好地欣赏它。

In London, the pregnant wife of an industrialist falls down the stairs, loses her sight and has no recollection of the events but suspects that a mentally traumatic experience prior to the fall caused her accident.                                    
                               Psyche 59 is a 1964 British drama film directed by Alexander Singer and written by Julian Halevy. It is based on the 1963 novel Psyche '59 by Françoise des Ligneris. The film stars Patricia Neal, Curd Jürgens, Samantha Eggar, Ian Bannen, Beatrix Lehmann and Elspeth March. The film was released on 29 April 1964, by Columbia Pictures.

　　Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
　　The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
　　The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
　　The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
　　Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

　　在1930年代，当时世界被战争而分裂，人类处在激情与痛苦当中。导演理查德·隆克瑞恩巧妙地将故事中的狡诈、阴谋、残暴，与当代法西斯象征主义结合在一起。伊安·麦克莱恩演出理查三世，他欲夺取兄长的王位，谋杀、骗婚、歼灭亲族无所不用其极，这样强烈的欲望，驱使他永无止尽的毁掉周遭的人。
　　影片是根据莎士比亚的名剧《理查三世》改编而成的，但是影片将故事发生的时间背景由原著中1483-1485年转换到1930年。将莎士比亚的剧作移植到其它年代，是电影人常常做的事，但是却不一定每次都做的好。难能可贵的是，这版《理查三世》不但以睿哲的智能改编了这部剧作，并且在不破坏莎翁美丽的词句下，为此剧注入现代的活力。

　　Harry Palmer已经离开了英国情报服务部门并成为一个私家侦探。他接到的第一个业务就是带一样东西去赫尔辛基，可是他带在身上的东西可没那么简单，他开始怀疑他这个亿万富翁到底给了他什么……

　　康沃尔渔村的风景明信片田园诗误导了人们。虽然过去钓鱼是一种养家糊口的方式，但如今富有的伦敦游客纷纷下山，取代了当地人，当地人的生计因此受到威胁。史蒂文和马丁兄弟的关系也很紧张。马丁是一个没有船的渔夫，因为史蒂文开始用它来为一整天的游客提供更赚钱的旅游。他们卖掉了这座家庭别墅，现在看来，最后一场战斗是和新主人在海边的停车位上展开。然而，情况很快就失控了，而不仅仅是因为车轮夹钳。
　　Bait是一种黑白，手工制作，16毫米胶片制作的电影。许多关于鱼、网、龙虾、长靴、绳结和渔篮的特写镜头让人想起了蒙太奇景点的理论。对不同社会阶层的描述——可以说是阶级关系——也让人想起了英国电影中的社会现实主义传统。然而，最重要的是，在影像中不同层次的电影历史参考文献之下，当前许多政治关联正在等待被发现。
　　The picture-postcard idyll of the Cornwall fishing village is misleading. While fishing used to be a way of supporting oneself, wealthy London tourists have now descended and are displacing the locals, whose livelihood is thus threatened. The relationship between brothers Steven and Martin is also strained. Martin is a fisherman without a boat, since Steven started using it for far more lucrative tours for all the day-trippers. They’ve sold the family cottage and now it seems that the final battle to be fought is that with the new owners over the parking space next to the sea. Yet the situation soon gets out of hand, and not just because of the wheel clamp.
　　Bait is a black-and-white film shot on hand-processed 16mm. Numerous close-ups of fish, nets, lobsters, wellington boots, knots and catch baskets bring to mind the theory of a montage of attractions. The depiction of the different social strata – one could speak of class relations – is also reminiscent of the tradition of social realism in British cinema. Above all, however, a whole lot of current political relevance is waiting to be discovered beneath the different layers of film historical references contained in the images.

　　影片讲述了拳手马蒂（帕迪·康斯戴恩饰）是一名世界中量级拳击冠军，跟妻子艾玛（朱迪·惠特克饰）有一个漂亮的女儿米娅，在他的职业生涯即将结束之际的最后一场拳击比赛中，马蒂遇到了一个强有力的年轻对手——傲慢、古怪又有争议的安德鲁，安德鲁一直扬言要得冠军，这场比赛彻底改变了马蒂 的人生。比赛结束后，马蒂卫冕成功，但是脑部却受到严重的撞击，他的生活、婚姻和未来都发生了巨大的变化。
