费立威廉斯年届而立,还是王老五一名,而他的三位老友乔治特莱顿、杜杰克逊以及霍华麦连尼,都已成家立室儿女成群了。他们由于趣味相投,每逢周末晚上都共同出外活动游乐,已成为习惯,但日子久了,也嫌这种生活太过单调呆板,渐渐开始觉得乏味了。
他们几经商议,竟妙想天开,计划共同在郊外租赁一所华丽别墅,登报招请一名美丽女人做临时主妇,如此岂不新鲜刺激?主意既定,他们开始找寻,费立发现纽约东部有一华丽别墅出租,立刻将其租下,随即登报征求同侣。
刚巧有一美女芳名凯茜,也看中该别墅,在察看途中与费立碰头,费立误会她是前来应征者,于是向她鼓其如簧之舌,大加游说。凯茜初无此意,但最后被其说服接受应征。原来凯茜是教授的助手,专替教授搜集有关男人性生理和心理的种种状态,写成报告,供教授研究参考,所以她正好借此机会与他们亲近,暗中观察,以便搜集材料。
这四位老友征得伴侣后,分别向他们的太太玛芝特莱顿、琼妮麦莲尼、汤妮杰克逊等撒谎,说是他们放弃周末胡闹的夜生活,而改为在某学校内专修一项研究课程以求深造。事实上,他们各自编定了一个日期,由星期一至星期四,每人轮流到别墅与凯茜厮混,其余日子凯茜可以自由。凯茜周旋于四名老友之间,手段圆滑,倒也十分顺利。但身为王老五的费立,对此颇感没趣,因为他已无形中与凯茜堕入情网,彼此同意准备结婚,其他三人则蒙在鼓里。
三位有妇之夫做贼心虚,一反常态,忽然分别向太太献殷勤、送礼物。无事献殷勤,反而引起她们怀疑。太太们于是雇请私家侦探,侦察丈夫的行踪,果然查出秘密。她们统一阵线,实行大兴问罪之师,准备捣毁香巢。
另一方面,三名有妇之夫得悉凯茜与费立结婚的消息,大为惊异,也一齐质问凯茜,要她解释明白究竟是何用意。费立在场,听到凯茜解释其来此目的才知受骗,大发雷霆,一怒而去,竟与前来找晦气的太太团相遇,于是折回准备看个究竟。可怜三个畏妻如虎的丈夫,正在太太的雌威之下狼狈万分、噤若寒蝉。凯茜乘机请教授代为解释她的身份目的,各太太和丈夫才恍然大悟。凯茜与费立双双携手而去,共成眷属。
Know Your Enemy - Japan (1945) [Movie] Douban IMDb
Know Your Enemy - Japan
other title: 认识你的敌人日本 / 了解你的敌人—日本
Using diagrams, cartoons and film footage, the film examines Japan's social structure and presents a geographical and historical basis for understanding Japan's and the United States' involvement in the war. A written prologue to the documentary acknowledges the honorable and loyal service of the Nisei (Japanese-Americans) during World War II. Scenes of Japanese ceremonies, industry, city and rural life, military training and combat are shown. The narration traces Japanese ideological history beginning with Emperor Jimmu, the first God-Emperor, whose divine command was "Let us extend our capital and cover the eight corners of the world under one roof." As Emperor Hirohito is a direct descendant of Jimmu, he is recognized as a God-Emperor and idealized as a ruler who governs all areas of life and is revered without question. Shinto is Japan's main religion and affects every aspect of life. For believers, the ghosts of the dead exist on earth to guide the living, and those who died in battle are considered warrior gods. A history of the Japanese warlords and their samurai, whose code of honor sanctioned treachery, doublecross and ambush, is presented. Japan's first unsuccessful attempt at world conquest was made in 1592. The growth of Christianity in Japan around the same time was eventually halted, and the country remained isolated for 200 years until in 1853, when the U.S. extended trade opportunities. Since then, Japan has modernized its technology, reorganized the political structure, and inducted the common man into prestigious military service. Government controlled compulsory education and "thought police," are used to manage the Japanese people. On 18 Sep 1931, Japan launched its campaign and gained control of Manchuria. Since then, it has conquered Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, Nanking and Corregidor, has attacked Pearl Harbor and has tortured and mistreated its American and Filipino prisoners. By the close of the film, however, the U.S. is launching a successful counteroffensive and is concentrating the full power of its Air Force, Army and Navy to destroy Japan's ability to wage war.

other title: 夜鹰热线
这是一部出色的好莱坞侦破影视片。剧情描写了一个退役警察担任电台“夜鹰热线”节目主持人后,凭着他丰富的经验和高度的责任感,协助过去的同事们共同破案,打击罪犯的故事。全片引人入胜的地方在于剧本富有想象力和创造力,把侦察、爱情、惊险、动作、悬念、奇异共冶一炉,使观众惊喜交集,欲罢不能。
故事发生在加利福尼亚州的旧金山市。30岁出头的杰克•克里扬(注:配音时译作杰克•基连的读音)是旧金山市警察局的一名优秀警探。他头脑灵敏,足智多谋,胆大心细,精明强干,被上司认为是局里最有前途的警员之一。然而在一次与匪徒激烈枪战中,他误伤最要好的搭档。这残酷的打击使他痛不欲生、一蹶不振,黯然离开警局,整天借酒浇愁。
年轻美貌的广播电台台长德温•金向沉溺于痛苦深渊里的克里扬伸出了拯救之手。这位广播界的“女强人”正在和台里最好的华裔工程师及制作人 比利•波筹划夜间热线电话节目,想请一名有经验的警察做节目主持人,以回答并告知听众如何保护自己、不受犯罪分子的侵扰等问题。他们发现了杰克•克里扬,终于说服他试一试。节目开播了,由于人们习惯称夜间巡逻的警察为“夜鹰”,节目便取名为《夜鹰热线》。
很快,《夜鹰热线》节目成为全城谈论的话题。每到节目播出时,无论是平民百姓,还是警员侦探,都会不约而同地打开收音机。他们有的向电台提供罪犯的线索,有的严阵以待,随时预备出击擒拿凶犯。《夜鹰热线》成了市民警探的好帮手,犯罪分子的克星。
一个自称“天使”的变态杀手在深夜拨通了《夜鹰热线》电话,明目张胆地告诉克里扬下一个攻击目标,这使许久找不到连环血案的警方大为惊喜,克里扬过去的上司、好友卡尔•泽马克中尉与他密切合作,他也施展了侦破才华,与罪犯殊死搏斗,从“天使”手中救出被绑架的德温•金。
由此,克里扬驱散心头愁云,重新找到自己的社会价值。 警察局同事们都认为克里扬仍然是名出色的警探,克里扬本人也试图重操旧业。然而他最终放弃了这个机会,迎着德温•金和比利•波的微笑,克里扬走进了播音室,从容地戴上耳机,面对听众一个接一个的热线电话,开始了新的一期的《夜鹰热线》。
