Old man's obsession with women, especially the one who he loved and then lost during the WWII, makes his children afraid to be left out of the will. That's why they are trying to become legal guardians and counting on Victor's help to prove father's mental condition. Little did they know that Victor has his own game going on in this funny comedy.    故事梗概:    年过三十的维克多是一名出色的物理学家,但因为经济的持续低迷,他被迫离开岗位。而他年轻美貌的妻子却和他正好相反,事业处于巅峰状态,整日忙于工作。另外,富有的服装公司老板整日殷勤地陪伴在妻子身边,也让维克多心里十分不平衡。在妻子远赴罗马出差的日子里,他更是倍感寂寞。在一个偶然的机会下,维克多发现了一则招聘管家的广告,而且报酬不菲,这立即引起了他的兴趣,并前去面试。但没想到的是,他即将要适逢的主人竟是一个既好色又好赌的单身糟老头儿,经常惹出一大堆麻烦,前前后后已经换了十余个管家。    这次,维克多准备迎接挑战,凭借他的智慧和幽默说服了老头雇佣他做管家。工作并不轻松,除了要服侍好老头儿之外,他还要听从老人的儿子多罗贝尔和女儿墨菲尔的指示,以免他又惹出什么麻烦来。谁知,维克多是个绝对忠实于自己主人的管家,不但帮助老头儿偷出家门,还和他一起赌博,泡妞。但这一切都是为了能使这个年过七旬的老头快乐。经过一段时间的相处,维克多得知老人在年轻时曾经有过一个十分相爱的女友。但因为老人被父亲逼迫出国学习政治外交,不得已与女孩分开,但老人对她却一直念念不忘。    在一次舞蹈表演中,一个叫做茱丽的年轻女孩深深地吸引了老人,从此曾经担任过外交家的老人开始拼命发挥自己的所长,并在管家维克多的帮助下,对茱丽展开了猛烈的攻势。而茱丽也为老人的诚恳感动,慢慢对他产生好感。可就在二人准备谈婚论嫁的时候,意外发生了。原来茱丽的外婆居然就是老人当年的初恋情人,更让他意想不到的是,茱丽竟然是他的亲外孙女儿。老人终于明白,他之所以被茱丽吸引是因为她长得实在太像她的外婆了。月老并没有牵错线,有情人终成眷属。    精彩视点:    《非凡管家》是法国1996年推出的又一部喜剧大片,影片以幽默诙谐的笔调向观众们讲述了一个近似荒诞的故事。此外电影画面风格唯美,一经上映就受到了广泛好评,并成为了当时最卖座的热门影片之一。可以说,《非凡管家》这部电影是当年以小成本制作而取得胜利的影片中最成功的一个。    影片中扮演维克多先生的演员是大名鼎鼎的资深老影星贝纳尔•勒科克,他演这部戏的时候事业正处巅峰时期,是最被看好的男主角人选。贝纳尔•勒科克的演艺生涯长近半个世纪,四十几年里演了一百二十余部电影,曾一次获法国凯撒奖影帝桂冠、多次获奖提名。无疑,贝纳尔•勒科克是法国20世纪电影的最有力见证者之一。    10月4日 14:49 CCTV-6播出

沉寂之桥
导演:
/Karen Arthur
主演:
剧情:
  Marg Duffield (Lee Remick) is the Maine wife of Al (Joseph Sommer) whose daughter Peg (Marlee Matlin) is deaf. Peg's husband is killed in a car accident on the way to visit the Maine house, and the Duffield's take in Peg's six year old daughter, Lisa, while Peg recovers. Since Lisa is a speaking child, Marg thinks of her the way she wanted Peg to be, and seeks guardian custody.  Remick's role is secondary to Matlin's, though she is presented as a tragic figure, particularly as Al refuses to help her plan to gain Lisa. Peg's deafness is said to be from a childhood case of spinal meningitis, and the teleplay by Louisa Burns-Bisogno, with story by Louisa and Tom Bisogno, reduces Remick to a textbook mother who is self-hating from guilt and therefore cannot love her own daughter. In a memorable scene, Peg angrily signs her exit to Marg, since Marg has refused to learn sign language, though Peg has learned to speak for her mother.  The treatment uses the Tennesee Williams play, The Glass Menagerie, for therapy, to help Peg overcome her grief and also Marg `lose her unicorn horn' and embrace her daughter. Whilst Peg choosing to act in this play may seem an odd choice for someone grieving, what is more noticable is that Matlin is far too more glamourous to be believable as Laura. The Bisogno's include Michael O'Keefe as Dan, Peg's deceased husband's best friend and director of Actors Theatre for the Deaf, to offer Peg a new romantic interest, and thankfully she rebukes his protestations of love. Although his opinion may be influenced by his `crush', Dan tells Peg that being different is better than being normal, since the normal ones are as `common as weeds'. This philosophy reads as rather Nietzschean, on the level of artists not being restricted to the common moral code.  Director Karen Arthur either has those signing also speaking or those signing being translated for the audience, though in one scene the sound of lapping waves drowns out the dialogue between Dan and Peg. She also gives Matlin some good moments, one being her scream of horror when she hears the news of the death of her husband, and another when she chases Remick down a flight of steps, hitting her.

纽约夜月情
导演:
/沃伦·莱特
主演:
剧情:
  Sam (Matthew Broderick) is the reasonable man in a crazy urban world, the man of thoughtfulness and refined taste in a landscape of Leroy Neiman paintings and beer commercials. The guy would sooner cook for an hour over a hot stove than say `supersize it.'  By day he's a store clerk in an upscale gourmet eatery, and these scenes raise a smile, especially for anyone who's visited the actual chain in New York City -- the portrayal isn't far off from the reality. Our man is besieged by hoards of customers who want their imported French cheese cut to impossibly exact standards. His efforts to remain outwardly polite (while you know he'd like to take the cleaver to the relentless clientele) are pretty funny, and will warm the hearts of clerks everywhere. In general, Broderick is in good form and provides the movie with most of whatever lightness it possesses.  Sciorra's lovelorn dental hygienist, Ellen, is fine enough, too, and her unknowing interaction with our cheese-slicing hero shows some hopeful chemistry, and you may begin to feel you want to see these two get together.  One of the main competitors for our lady's affections, a stockbroker (Kevin Anderson), is played as caricature: he's the beer swilling frat-boy whose idea of after-sex sensitivity is flipping on the football game. He's kind of funny at times, but the movie might be stronger if he was written or acted for us to like him more, instead of having us merely recognize him as the flat-out `wrong' guy in comparison to Broderick's sensitive man. Think of John Candy in Splash, taking a cigarette and beer can to the racquetball game; we know his lifestyle is not the one our hero should emulate, but we can't help but be charmed by the likeable goon. Whereas this character is merely a goon, and pretty unlikable all around.  While it's a nice enough light movie for the first half, for me the story was somewhat derailed by its unbelievable (Hollywood) presentation of sex and adultery. (SPOILER AHEAD, skip to next paragraph.) When Ellen returns home after an evening's misadventures, she is naturally faced with the questioning husband (Michael Mantell). Quickly admitting her own indiscretion, she then immediately turns the situation around, demanding to know why the guy had gone ahead and bought a house without discussing it. Granted, it's a valid issue, and granted, many people use this countering maneuver in arguments. What's unbelievable is what happens next: the guy starts responding to her question, addressing the house-issue in a quiet, thoughtful manner. WHOA. You'd be hard pressed to find a married person in the world who, when faced with his/her partner's totally unexpected adultery, would be ready to address anything so calmly. The guy would surely be bouncing off the walls, or else crushed into silence and tears - but see, then we might actually feel for the poor schnook, and we'd see Sciorra's character in a poor light. And since that particular audience reaction doesn't serve the romantic comedy, the story tries to sneak around it. You may start to feel that, like the husband, you're being taken.  Further dissatisfaction is just around the corner in the ending. We realize this is where misunderstandings will get sorted out, and our couple will finally see a clear path to one another. We want the satisfaction of rooting for them. But it's marred by another unbelievable character reaction, followed by an abrupt conclusion that feels rushed and forced, too easy and unearned. You may feel as though the movie's cheating on you again...
