Paul Fein is a veteran police detective whose son Eddie is also a cop. Paul is assigned to investigate the murder of a prominent businessman, and he soon learns that the field of suspects has been narrowed down to two—the victim's sexually freewheeling wife Anna, and Paul's wild-child daughter Jackie.

other title: 头条大新闻 / 冤家三文治 …
This umpteenth version of the Front Page story made the quite appropriate adaptation from newspaper journalism to television. Although the character names have been changed we have no problems identifying the main characters of the Front Page. As in His Girl Friday, Hildy is played by a woman and Kathleen Turner was the ideal choice for this role at the time. Burt Reynolds takes on the Walter Burns character, but he neither has the charm of Cary Grant [His Girl Friday] nor the comic timing of Walter Matthau [Front Page, The (1974)] - but then, who has? The only serious miscasting is Christopher Reeve who just can't match the whimpish Ralph Bellamy. All in all it's not as good as the previous (excellent) versions, but it is still quite enjoyable. A story with that many remakes normally has a stinker amongst the lot, but this one has not (so far).

《法律与秩序:特殊受害》,于1999年开始播出,是首播于1990年的美国电视史上播映时间最长犯罪剧集《法律与秩序》的三部姐妹剧之一。其它两部分别是2001年开播的《法律与秩序:犯罪倾向》(Law & Order: Criminal meijubar.net Intent),和2005年《法律与秩序:陪审团》(Law and Order: Trial By Jury) 。 被残忍杀害的年轻女子、被虐的婴儿、被近亲性侵害的女童、家暴阴影下手足无措的妇女、失调扭曲的家庭关系、很想用心,但每每力有未迨的父母、杵在社会家庭人际边缘、人性的灰色地带。SVU每回总是触动那块让人无从防备的柔软地带。 可爱的孩童、无辜的弱势个体(受性侵害者、同性恋、精神病患),每个人都多少有些经验感触的亲子与家庭关系。不见得要多复杂的剧情----忙于工作单亲母亲剧烈摇晃死自己的一岁多幼女、幼小无辜的女孩在母亲一时的暴怒下被辗压击碎。一方面可以多了解那种拉扯,在工作亲子关系中的心力交瘁;可爱时像天使,哭闹起来却像恶魔一样让人抓狂的孩子。要怎么控诉那为了舍不得孩子继续受到病痛折磨,而毅然决定停止呼吸器的母亲?所以就算这是再滥情的一种扮演与操控,每每还是让观众的心揪成一团…而溃不成军… Law & Order: Special Victims Unit对于一部procedural drama来说,情节及其设计是成功的关键。SVU在这方面是相当不错的,同时也继续着Law & Order系列的传统。对各个主角的私生活,几乎都不接触。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集,而不必担心情节不连戏。坏处就是观众群不断地更换。 Easier to attach, easier to detach. L&O: SVU最大的卖点是sex crime。 得力于出色的写实派创作班底,《法律与秩序》最厉害的一点是“尽量接近真实”。虽然快节奏的电视剧无法完全还原艰难的司法程序,但该剧仍然力求细节真实。相反,爆炸、飞车、追逐、打斗、枪战之类的场面极少出现,作为主角出现的两个警察在整整22集里一枪都没有开过,查案全靠两条腿一张嘴。相信所有对司法部门有所了解的人都会认同,这才是法律系统真实的运作方式。很多司法界人士和警察都对该剧赞誉有加,喜欢的人说“这就是现实”,不喜欢的人则批评它“像普及教育课,不像电视节目”。该剧的风行,深刻地影响了美国的电视行业,此后出现的警匪电视剧都更加注意纪实味道和团队精神,比如《犯罪现场调查》(CSI)和《纽约重案组》(NYPD Blue)。 与其它警匪电视剧最大的不同在于,《法》片把焦点完全集中在司法程序,对各个主角的私生活几乎不接触。在一个小时的剧集中,警察查案,控方审案。这样的好处就是可以使观众随时看任意一集而不必担心情节不连续。和它形成鲜明对照的是《纽约重案组》,在讲述真实犯罪和侦破细节的同时,也着意刻画警察的平凡生活,并加入了各式各样的恋情。最绝的是,《法》片的许多故事都直接来自报纸的社会新闻,所以在某些集的结尾,才会出现这样的字幕:“本集故事受某某案件启发,但人物与具体情节都纯属虚构,绝无影射涉案人士之意。

Awe-inspiring, brutal and stunning, Wake in Fright is the story of John Grant, a bonded teacher who arrives in the rough outback mining town of Bundayabba planning to stay overnight before catching the plane to Sydney. But his one night stretches to five and he plunges headlong toward his own destruction. When the alcohol-induced mist lifts, the educated John Grant is no more. Instead there is a self-loathing man in a desolate wasteland, dirty red-eyed, sitting against a tree and looking at a rifle with one bullet left...
