Facing immigration issues, a couple must confront fears of rejection or risk losing each other.。拍完《开心地走吧》事隔三年,日本人对黑帮爱情片热潮未减,小津再碰这个类型,心态和技巧已别于从前,人物感情转趋复杂与悲情,画面一景一物的安排尽见巧思。延续前作角色,讲黑帮大佬与一好一坏两女人之间的情仇,但这次黑帮与坏女人同给好女人吸引过去,黑帮最后亦没有离弃坏女人。也许为了增加剧情说服力,小津找来田中绢代做女主角,坏女孩果然恶得含蓄,有时更会楚楚可怜。可惜绢代刚演过深入民心的《伊豆舞娘》,坏女人形像不给当时观众受落。小津将黑帮片类型玩得出神入化,不少人觉得这是他默片巅峰之作。(第27届香港国际电影节)。While rowing out in the ocean, Mitch rescues an underwater photographer, named Linda, floating on some wreckage. Linda's somewhat disjointed, frantic story about something attacking her in an underwater cave which killed her partner and destroyed her boat is misconstructed by Kay Morgan, an ambitious, publicity seeking newspaper reporter, who creates a media frenzy by starting rumors about a "creature in the bay." Harvey Miller, the new lifeguard and prankster, benefits from the events by selling undersea creature T-shirts. Meanwhile, Shauni rescues a young girl from drowning and soon becomes compelled to rescue the girl, her brother and their mother from the life they live in the slums of South-Central L.A., much to Eddie's chagrin. While Shauni deals with her possessive father who disapproves of her lifeguard job, Mitch also pressures Captain Thorp to ask for funding for new advanced motorboats, called Scarabs, for the team.。
