详细剧情
Classic British comedy adapted from a James Thurber story about a tweed manufacturer's elderly accountant who devises a plan to save the company from an American takeover bid. The arrival of an efficiency expert from the States causes enough of a stir but, when it turns out to be a woman, the old-fashioned number cruncher declares war. Man-eating businesswoman, Angela Barrows is sent by her US company to Edinburgh to investigate export opportunities. She meets businessman Robert MacPherson en route and he persuades her to help bring his company into the 20th century. The staff, lead by Mr. Martin, have other ideas and a battle between the old and new business methods breaks out.

1 ) 借题发挥
关灯，闭眼，把念头放在这个黑暗的房间之内，忘记其他一切事情，酒后在微熏那种感觉特别棒。再把感觉放在自己全身每一个角落，用把专注于自己身体的念头通过每一寸皮肤去感受对方和对方的身体每一寸肌肤。然后转移到对方的身体上，关注彼此的身体变化呼吸温度湿度。越慢越好，专注于过程，或快或慢，或深或浅。或左或右，不要有直奔目的地的想法。
有一场女主角站在曼哈顿的摩天大楼楼顶企图自杀的戏，俯拍看下去，下面的街道和车流都是微缩模型做的，还配有小前照灯，看上去足可乱真。我倒真希望她跳下去，这样就成《绝地50尺女巨人》了。

与我不合拍（她不是Hard Gold Digger，She‘s Harder…）
神经喜剧婚内次类型，偌大的纽约城，遍地都是金子和饥渴的掘金女郎（gold digger）。男人的中年危机也是致命的啊，过度煽情和说教是格里菲斯最大的缺点。
服装真是太仙了
两性战争亘古未变，男人最后的回心转意只因皆小三抛弃而已，所以怎么看都觉得勉强凄凉；配乐和场景充满爵士年代独有的奢华，彼时的女主们永远这般可人怜惜，如雾里看花似寒蝉凄切，充满心碎的温柔；尾声处数线交织，达致高潮。
这剧情放现在，简直就是集各种狗血大成于一体，不得不说这富商真是纯情(或者该说是蠢？）这么明显钓凯子的行为还往里面跳
格里菲斯的后期作品，和他较早的那些片子比起来风格很不一样。This late jazz age comic morality tale directed by D. W. Griffith feels much more modern and far less overtly moralizing than those earlier films, though its 1920s "feel" is a part of its appeal for contemporary viewers.
男人出轨，妻子心碎，儿女劝和，重归于好，经典的恶心人的家庭故事。和读史料后理解的“两性之争”不同，影片更多通过个体表现女性心机逐利/懦弱保守的两种性格，以及男性自大贪婪/色欲愚蠢两种性格。最喜欢老男人疯狂减肥丑态百出那场戏，太滑稽了。
