劉別謙(qiān )初(chū )(🔨)嚐美高梅大製作的派頭，一(yī )(🌰)切筆法更神采飛揚。開敞(chǎng )的場景(jǐng )(🎗)、(🎹)空前的排(pái )場讓人物裏裏(🐮)外(wài )外恣(zì )意張(📿)開：寡婦的心更顯孤獨，男女的(de )愛更(gèng )加沒(méi )處(🎩)安放。坐擁小國大部分財(🔲)富的寡婦忽(🚥)然要搬到巴黎重新尋(xún )找(🍮)生(✖)活色彩，國(guó )王唯恐國祚不保(🤷)來一招(zhāo )美(měi )(🚢)男(🌙)計(📎)，派(pài )(🚣)出風流(liú )種(zhǒng )子色誘(yòu )寡婦。本來一個(gè )用(🎛)情一個求性，幾番邂逅與折騰，改寫(🌞)了(🙄)男男(nán )(👓)女女的基本需要。歌與(🥫)舞沒有賣(mài )弄甜膩(🕙)，反而(💠)放在愛(🏯)情的(de )沉重中(zhōng )換(huàn )來(lái )了歌(gē )頌。歌與影無間交流，劉別謙輕(qīng )歌劇巔(💍)峰之作，亦(🈸)成了荷里活(⛏)極(🐨)有代表性的(de )(🌪)一章。司花利亞與珍娜．麥當(dāng )奴最後一次(🔍)合(hé )作，後者散(sàn )發從未有(yǒu )過的成熟韻味。堪稱(chēng )最性(📐)感(🔎)的(de )(🌂)音樂(🌱)劇(jù )。
　(🌸)　Rated "the sexiest musical in the thirties", The Merry Widow could well be the sexiest musical ever. Jeannette MacDonald, sensual and majestic as a Persian cat, is the wealthiest widow in the kingdom of Marschovia. On a visit to Paris, she attracts a flurry of gold-diggers. To prevent her fortune from passing to foreign hands, the king sends a romantic envoy to court her. He chooses Captain Donilo, whose cavalier attitude to women is not limited to his rapport with Maxim's "girls, girls, girls". Osé(♓) but not blasé, this elegant adaptation of Franz Lehar's operetta out-classed von Stroheim's silent in opulence, culminating in the grandest of grand balls.
