George Bryan Brummel, a British military officer, loves Lady Margery, the betrothed of Lord Alvanley. Despite her own desperate love for Brummel, she submits to family pressure and marries Lord Alvanley. Brummel, broken-hearted, embarks upon a life of revelry. He befriends the Prince of Wales and leaves the army, becoming subsequently the best-known rake and decider of fashion in Europe. As his affairs flourish, so does his disdain for his benefactor, the Prince. Eventually Brummel falls into disfavor, and it is only Lady Margery who has any chance of helping him.
当凄美的爱情故事看还是相当耐看的,错乱老年有几分Mr. Hyde的感觉。John Barrymore太帅了,配上18世纪英国上流社会行头真是骚没边儿了【古早你坞好喜欢“今生不成来生相聚”的强行HE结尾哦】
悲伤不过暮年对幻影,如果这是人生杯中最后一滴酒,我会停下来为你而饮尽,玛芝莉
传记电影吧。我很想看他怎么施展魅力,可惜啊,没有。还没乔治胖子来的刻画大。

3.5+,人物本身同时代风云几无关联,更广阔的背景隐藏于人物交谈所产生的字幕板,诚如片名透露,成为一部完全的个人史。“眼看他起高楼,眼看他宴宾客,眼看他楼塌了”,大起大落的人生、世所熟知的混乱情感与私人的忠诚爱恋明暗叙事,在塑造人物方面完成度颇高,具有古典戏剧之风,矛盾的行为及心理是其个人悲剧的根源,结尾以亡灵弥补缺憾的浪漫化处理实无必要。
