挺可爱的
Sirk早年居然还拍过这种，片头好漂亮。以及一些古早淋片的译名真的好好笑。
从天而降的财富会让一个家庭更幸福吗？身不压财，财多伤身平平淡淡才是真，一老一小最可爱。罗克·赫德森舞姿尴尬，吧台惊现詹姆斯·迪恩。塞克的电影要是部部是彩色片，该是多美妙的视觉享受。
看Sirk的電影從來是一種享受，懷念這種單純美好的喜劇，現在都沒得看了。
这片名是怎么回事。……。。。。……
我希望可以穿越时空去到20年代的美国~~~~~
无亲无故的巨富老头打算将遗产留给曾拒绝过自己的初恋的后代，为考验这一家决意亲自乔装潜入。片中对程结构明显。男女主角分别是老头和暗恋的祖母的分身。两人终于走向婚姻，也是老头圆了年轻时残缺的梦。

查了下上映日期，居然不是部圣诞电影。塞克和Rock Hudson合作的第一部，他的作品也是这之后开始越来越美国味，时代特征愈明显。剧情没有他之后情节剧的特征，不变的是讲究的色彩和英俊的Rock Hudson。风格更接近于Hudson演的众多喜剧，角色们不时唱唱跳跳，明快欢乐 PS:迪恩打了个酱油哈哈
The Roaring 20s的音乐时尚社会背景+一个可爱的老富翁=很不错的圣诞电影。Sirk对色彩的触觉。James Dean跑了个龙套吓我一跳。
Sirk's color, less emotion involved than other Sirk's works, Charles Coburn is good, but to me Lionel Barrymore is preferred
最喜欢这种喜剧了
題旨簡單，娛樂性高，James Dean有客串。色彩略見雛型，彩色窗。
又一部适合圣诞全家欢的影片 It is not money that makes a person happy, but what u do with what u hav
在ROCK HUDSON的套装里收获了这片瑟克的喜剧。近来看到最棒的一片！明明就是一片sing-along喜剧，却能给瑟克鼓捣得如此事故而陷阱重重啊！光降神的故事架子已经令人振奋：这不是四川好人的重奏么？！越拍到后来，瑟克越凶相毕露。很多场景都甚是凶险凌厉，只是不知道这些媚眼抛出去有多少人能接收得到
