《晚餐的约定》是一部1946年的美国经典爱情电影,由约瑟夫·李·曼执导,讲述了两个角色在第二次世界大战后重新相遇并展开一段复杂情感故事。影片不仅探讨了爱情与婚姻的真谛,还触及了战争对人性的影响。豆瓣内容: During a cross-country lecture tour, notoriously acerbic radio personality Sheridan Whiteside slips on the icy steps of the house of the Stanleys, a prominent Ohio family, and is forced to recuperate in their home during the Christmas holidays. The overbearing, self-centered celebrity soon comes to dominate the lives of the residents and everyone else who enters the household. He encourages young adults Richard and June Stanley to pursue their dreams, much to the dismay of their conventional father Ernest. Meanwhile, Whiteside's spinster assistant Maggie Cutler finds herself attracted to local newspaperman Bert Jefferson. When she reads Bert's play, she is so impressed she asks Whiteside to show it to his contacts, and then announces she will quit his employment and marry Bert. However, her boss is loath to lose such an efficient aide and does his best to sabotage the blossoming romance...贝蒂·戴维斯在片中扮演的是艾琳,一个经历过战争创伤的女性。她的台词:“你不会明白的,只有经历过战争的人才知道。”揭示了她内心深处的伤痛和对未来的迷茫。安·谢里登饰演的则是杰克,一位充满魅力但性格复杂的男子。他的一句台词:“我一直在等待这一天,再次遇见你,就像等待着晚餐的约定。”表达了他对艾琳的深情与期待。蒙蒂·伍利则在片中扮演艾琳的丈夫吉米,他的台词:“我从没想过你会回来,更没想到我们会再见面。”展现了吉米在得知艾琳回归后的复杂心情,既有欣喜也有嫉妒。《晚餐的约定》通过这三个角色的纠葛,描绘了战后社会的变迁和个人情感的挣扎,展现了人性中的爱、恨、欲望与牺牲。
