准儿媳

 畅斯（彼得·塞勒斯 Peter Sellers饰），一位头脑简单的老园丁。他一直生活在华盛顿的一间老房子里，从未离开过。他全部的生活就是看电视，看电视成了他唯一与外界沟通的途径。在长期的累积之下，他的整个思想行为和世界观已完全电视化。然而他的雇主突然去世，畅斯一下子变得无处可去，孤苦无依。面对陌生而又新鲜的世界，他顿时乱了方寸。在一场突如其来的车祸后，畅斯居然成为富有的华盛顿商人伊芙（雪莉·麦克雷恩 Shirley MacLaine饰）和本（茂文·道格拉斯 Melvyn Douglas饰）的座上宾。他凭借在电视上学来的“广博”知识，技惊四座，甚至当上了政客们倚重的智囊。本部享誉70年代末期影坛的政治讽刺喜剧《富贵逼人来》，是笑匠彼得·塞勒斯的最后遗作。本片荣获1980年第52届奥斯卡金像奖最佳男配角并获得最佳男主角提名，入围1980年第33届戛纳电影节主竞赛单元-金棕榈奖。

　　本片是苏联伟大卫国战争系列史诗巨片之一部。影片尽情歌颂了苏联人民，在德国法西斯围困列宁格勒的900个艰难的日日夜夜，所表现出来的顽强精神。影片及表现了苏军大本营对列宁格勒的战略布防，也表现出列宁格勒市民面对生死的坚忍不拔。同时也是为数不多的苏联战争影片，客观地表现了战争初期红军失利，以及红军将领伏罗希洛夫元帅组织列宁格勒城防的失败。影片还展现了列宁格勒基洛夫工厂，冒着的德军轰炸，坚持为前线生产武器，以及军队和市民通过城市唯一与外界的通道——拉多加湖通道，运送粮食、武器和其他战略物资的场面。该片还较为详实地展示了希特勒攻占列宁格勒的计划，以及红军与市民联手防御，共同抗敌的画面。这部影片，将战争的全景展示与战壕细节完美地结合起来，直到今天仍不失为一部反法西战争的优秀影片，很值得观赏和借鉴。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
