Let's Make Love(1960)
导演:乔治·库克 编剧:诺曼·克拉斯娜/哈尔·坎特 主演:玛丽莲·梦露/伊夫·蒙当/托尼·兰德尔
1959年由比利·怀德指导的《热情似火》(Some Like It Hot)大获成功,玛丽莲·梦露再次回到巅峰状态,并拿下了金球奖最佳影后。
趁着演员合同还没有结束,二十世纪福克斯又开始压榨梦露的性感。
一部粗俗、艳俗的歌舞片被安排上了日程,并取名为“Let's Make Love”。
当亿万富翁让-马克·克莱门特(伊夫·蒙当饰)得知自己将在百老汇外的一出喜剧中被讽刺时,为了接近剧中美丽的明星阿曼达·戴尔(玛丽莲·梦露饰),他把自己伪装成扮演他的演员......
影片根据1937年迪克·鲍威尔主演的歌舞片《林荫道上》(On The Avenue)所改编,并将男女主角的性别做了反转置换。
梦露的编剧丈夫阿瑟·米勒修改了剧本,把更多的重点放在了他的妻子玛丽莲·梦露身上。
最初与梦露演对手戏的格里高利·派克(Gregory Peck)因为自己的角色被削弱感到十分不满继而离开了剧组。
这个角色后来被提供给洛克·哈德森、加里·格兰特和查尔顿·赫斯顿,但他们都拒绝了。
最终,伊夫·蒙特德得到了这份工作,他曾出演过米勒1957年剧作《塞勒姆女巫》改编的法语电影,并因最近在纽约举办的个人音乐演唱会而受到好评。
然而这位法语流利的男演员却不怎么会说英语......
当然,这还不是最大的问题。
拍摄正值电影工会大罢工,电影停拍了近1个半月。
再次期间,先于表演,倒是梦露的体重先开始超常发挥。
经常的无故迟到、忘词也是片场一大难题。
此外,两位主演还因戏生情,这让整个剧组都处于尴尬的状态之下。
倒是福克斯得到了免费宣传电影的猛料。
貌合神离的伊夫·蒙当和妻子西蒙·西涅莱以及第三人梦露
影片上映之后并未在北美票房取得多少亮眼的表现,口碑也是一塌糊涂。
在去世之前,梦露曾叹息道:阿曼达可能是我演过最糟糕的一个角色。(完)

Ms. Monroe’s penultimate picture, a trite mistake identity musical-comedy directed by none other than George Cukor, French movie star Yves Montand plays a New York dwelling billionaire Jean-Marc Clement, who is born with a silver spoon and so atrociously famous that an off-Broadway revue decides to satirize his merry-go-round love affairs along with the personages like Elvis Presley and Maria Callas. Apprised of the news, Jean-Marc is persuaded by his PR officer Coffman (Randall, evokes an underlined drollness in his all-serious demeanor) to sneak into the rehearsal, and hit by a coup-de-foudre, he is swept off his feet by its star Amanda Dell (Monroe)’s sultry rendition of Cole Porter’s MY HEART BELONGS TO DADDY, and when he is hired to play himself for his uncanny resemblance, Jean-Marc plays along and becomes Alexandre Dumas, hoping to win Amanda over not by his wealth, but his charming personality in lieu.
As a comedy, LET’S MAKE LOVE is only moderately funny, in spite of three showbiz dignitaries’ cameos as themselves, Milton Berle, Bing Crosby and Gene Kelly, each pops up as an instructor to teach Jean-Marc comedy act, singing and dancing respectively, but the dry humor induced by Jean-Marc’s gaucheness and his teachers’ understated frustration doesn’t go anywhere. Montand appears like a fish out of water whenever Monroe is not present (the pair were conducting an off-screen affair during the production), and being a top-drawer entertainer, to act as if he is not really requires more showmanship than one might reckon.
But naturally, scenes shine when Monroe is on screen, whether she is cooing and twirling in music numbers (SPECIALIZATION is a boon), or playing a typical manic pixie dream girl in front of a besotted Montand, her Amanda only exudes irresistible, faultless loveliness that she leverages with considerable ease, even shoulders the third act’s over-egged self-denying non sequitur safely to the finishing line.
LET’S MAKE LOVE also marks British pop idol Frankie Vaughan’s bash into the Tinseltown, but is left nearly nothing to do as the no-account second fiddler, if not for his pizzazz when the music swells. The show must go on however off-Broadway it is, and a girl like Monroe is destined to marry a billionaire, a pipe dream Hollywood has been consistently force-feeding its audience to wallow in, and only looks wistful and ironic when Ms. Monroe prematurely shuffles off this mortal coil.

好莱坞之所以是好莱坞,实在是人才济济,配角和龙套都个个精彩,每个教练的短短一场戏,都精准可耐,喜剧不是闹剧,乌龙而不油腻,帅!
美女帅哥!!!!如云!!!!
会有男人不爱梦露吗?梦露就是那种人群中最出众的女人啊。
2023.7.2 16:55 8.5 富家子弟爱上普通群众的题材可谓经久不衰,本应俗套的剧情,在歌与舞的渲染与男女主的生动演绎下,竟可让人看得会心一笑,银发梦露又是如此的倾国倾城,心满意足的happy ending。
2013.02.19 黑丝配毛衣,也只有女神梦露才能hold住吧~~感觉Yves和Monroe不太来电啊……莫名其妙Monroe最终选了他的感觉【女神和神客串加一星,手链的段子加一星~~
蓝色粗棒针毛衣和黑色丝袜的梦露翩翩起舞,让纽约的“国王”都不能自已,结局或许是每个追求真爱又不能舍弃物质的都市女子的梦想,情人“up here on the top of the world,but soul is going down the street with her”,但34岁的梦露已经不能仅凭自己而时刻摄人,何况剧本和台词是如此老套。
歌舞其实不多,Frankie Vaughan是亮点.
富豪想用自己的才藝、魅力吸引美人,學遍了各種表演都不盡人意。最後用真誠、財富征服了美人。
在电视上放着当白噪音过的却意外看了进去 因为这部电影里的梦露虽然载歌载舞 但盛容之下是难以掩饰的脆弱 反而更动人了 一看日期果然是60年左右的 那时候在两个肯尼迪里纠缠的美人也是很痛苦的吧
对这种亿万富翁寻找真爱的命题无感。但是里头五美元Cartier手链的段子还是设计的挺巧的。另外,梦露能算黑丝流的鼻祖吗?
用“傻白甜”来形容梦露再贴切不过(当然是褒义啦)
喜劇的結局的處理方式一定要這樣馬虎嗎,除了這以外,這是看過的夢露電影中最喜歡的一部!jazzy...
用心的喜剧,虽然本质上是个霸道总裁爱上我的玛丽苏故事。梦露后期太懂得展现自己的美,眉毛眼睛嘴巴,脸上每一个表情都很诱人,真尤物
总觉得是百万富翁的单相思,梦露最后是臣服于蒙当的财富权势,除了善意的关心,没有看出她哪一点爱上他了。当然,开场的宽松毛衣加黑丝袜的装扮真是性感出新高度。
名人荟萃 Gene Kelly教跳舞的 arthur miler 梦露曾经的老公
因为是梦露唯一一次和“猫王”同台,所以特意找来看,但真的太无聊了,连milton berle都让人很尴尬,看完猫王那段我都不想看了。然后!!!感谢克劳斯贝和金凯利的梦幻龙套,贡献了全片最好笑的三分钟。
天真美艳,居然有人诟病这样的尤物愿嫁金龟婿,不嫁都觉得暴殄天物好么。bing crosby和gene kelly客串亮,男主挫
Le numéro sublime de Monroe en pull bleu et collants suffira pr que cette comédie musicale entre dans le panthéon de son genre.L'inversion de l'échelon social derrière 1 mensonge pr le besoin de séduire engendrait 1 décalage hilarant et 1 ironie exquise.Du classicisme
影片剧情虽弱,但几处情节的设置还是很有意思的,比如那段地铁站表演。几段歌舞桥段也算是上佳,梦露还是那么美艳动人~
