严禁嘴对嘴

雖然阿倫雷奈早有向舞台取經的前科，也不是第一次要演員在鏡頭前劈大喉嚨高歌，《嚴禁嘴對嘴》卻是無心插柳的意外：只因籌備中的影片阻滯重重，他一不做二不休，乾脆另起爐灶打開法國二十年代輕歌劇的寶庫找題材，發掘了一齣鮮為人知的流線型香艷錯摸喜劇。大戰剛剛結束，慶幸生還的蟻民瘋狂寄情於食色性，歌台舞榭空前蓬勃，打情罵俏言不及義的娛樂大受歡迎。三對鴛鴦一間房追追逐逐，說穿了不過是甜蜜蜜的棉花糖，然而這種華麗繽紛，提供了窩心的現世安慰──要是不飽暖，不會大赤赤思淫慾。左擁愛將莎賓雅絲瑪和彼爾艾第堤，右抱下凡天使柯德莉塔圖，雷奈粉雕玉砌的飲食男女見聞錄是他近年最得心應手之作，把欲擒故縱的藝術發揮得淋漓盡致。A musical drawing room farce set in Paris in October, 1925. Gilberte, in middle-age, flirts with men but loves her husband Georges, wishing he were more demonstrative. He's negotiating a deal with an American, Eric Thomson, who turns out to be Gilberte's first husband from an annulled and secret stateside marriage. Along with her sister Arlette, Gilberte begs Eric not to tell Georges about the marriage. Meanwhile, a young artist, Charly, pursues Gilberte while Arlette tries to match him with the young Huguette, who loves him. Will Eric play along or try to re-win Gilberte's affection? Can Gilberte play one off against another? And who will manage to kiss whom on the lips?
