孽海游龙剧情介绍

孽海游龙是一部剧情片，格雷厄姆．格林根据其原著小说改编而成的政治惊险片，演员阵容坚强，除了有理查德．伯顿与伊丽莎白．泰勒这对当红的银色夫妻担纲外，尚有亚力克．吉尼斯、彼得．乌斯蒂诺夫和默片时代巨星莉莲．吉什等合演。故事背景是非洲的海地，描述一名英国人想出售他的旅馆，吸引了一对美国夫妇的兴趣，但因另外一名军火商客人被警察拘捕，他们在营救过程中发现了当地政府的贪赃枉法，乃失望离去，而军火商则溜进南美大使馆逃避追捕。旅馆主人与大使夫人有染，乃无可避免地卷入复杂的政治纠纷之中。导演彼得．葛林威尔虽展现出大片格局，但也有人物关系复杂与节奏冗长之弊。

Set in the Haiti of "Papa Doc" Duvalier, The Comedians tells the story of a sardonic Welsh hotel owner and his encroaching fatalism as he watches Haiti sink into barbarism and poverty. Complications include his inability to sell the hotel so he can leave, a friendship with a rebel leader, some politically "charged" hotel guests, an affair with the German-born wife of a South American ambassador, and the manipulations of a British arms dealer who's in over his head.
