Movie "Rainbow Hai Tang Haru / Born Yesterday" (1950) American Blu-ray edition cover
Director George Cook George Cukor (1899-1983) is a gentle, high-grade, deep artistic person, in this drama film called "Rainbow in the Tent Sea / Born Yesterday" (1950), George Cook based on a very popular Broadway stage play, very cleverly and delicately expressed in the film image, so that the audience can see it very comfortably and intoxicated.
In "The Spring of the Tent Haitang", the timeless reflection on the white hair, the wonderful performance of the actor is very commendable.
"The Spring of the Sea Of The Tent" also has a strong social critical color, and a song and dance girl, after having knowledge, can also recognize the various corruption and degeneration phenomena of society, and can emerge from the control of the underworld.

It can also be said that just as the so-called "power of knowledge is infinite", with knowledge, there is the ability to act.
George Cook boldly used stage actress Judy Holliday (1921-1965) as the lead actress in "The Book of The Sea", and at the 23rd Academy Awards in 1951, Glique Gloria Swanson (1899-1983) for Sunset Boulevard (1950), Betty Davis Bette Davis (1908-1989) Comet Beauty All About Eve (1950), Anne Baxter (1923–1985) for Comet Beauty All About Eve (1950) and Eleanor Parker (1922–2013) for Best Actress in Closed Window Caged (1950).
The 23rd Academy Awards in 1951 were also nominated by 4 other actresses, the most vocal of which were Gloria Swanson (top right) and Betty Davis (bottom left).
This year is probably also probably the most competitive year for the actress award in the history of the Oscars! Most of the eyes are on Gloria Swanson and Betty Davis, whose performances in Sunset Boulevard and Comet Beauty are truly wonderful, and one of the most exciting performances in the history of the two films.
And Betty Davis told the media that Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Boulevard" should be awarded, believing that her performance in "Sunset Boulevard" exceeded herself, and if she and Gloria Swanson could not win, at least it should fall on Anne Baxter's head, because Anne Baxter's performance on "Comet Beauty" is really impressive.

Judy Holyr was also not confident enough to attend the Oscars that year, and actress Ethel Barrymore took the stage to accept the award for her. It is said that after gloria Swanson's defeat, she saw Judy Hollittle in private and said quietly: Why can't you come to the election next year? I have to ask people to look at "The Spring of the Sea Hall of the Tent" differently.
"Oh Oh Hato" is actually a comedy, similar to "My Fair Lady" (1964) to transform women (unfortunately Audrey Hepburn is not so good), the wonderful thing is that it comes from the same director George Cook, who has always been considered to be able to make the heroine's characteristics play, and has worked with the heroine Judy Hollittle three times.

The first was "Adam's Ribs/Kimya Tsangay Adam's Rib" (1949), starring Spencer Spencer Tracy (1900–1967) and Katharine Hepburn (1907–2003), in which Judy Hollid played a supporting role, and Kathleen Hepburn was said to have praised her performance in Adam's Ribs, the second time in "The Spring of the Tent Sea", and the third time in "The Ribs of Adam" three years later. It Should Happen to You (1954).
"Spring in the Tent" is about the rude tycoon Brooke (Broderick Crawford) who has a brainless, vulgar, cabaret-turned-fiancée Billy (Judy Hollid).

Annoyed by not being able to ascend to the hall of elegance, Mr. Brooke came up with a way to hire the journalist Paul (William Holden) as her teacher for a salary of $200 a week, teach her some of the techniques and etiquette of treating people and things, and change her original loud and uncultured behavior.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Bon Woman looks up and becomes an intellectual, Billy begins to look down on Mr. Brooke, because he is his former self, and she begins to rebel against Brooke's will, which makes Brooke regret that he should not have made the original decision. Finally, he flew with the teacher Paul.
The conceivable ending, this awareness of equality between men and women and the rise of women has deepened the significance of the times, and it is conceivable that it can be considerably recognized at that time.

Sophia Roland Sophia Loren said, "A woman who lacks self-confidence will never have beauty that attracts others." There is no strength that can make a woman look beautiful more than confidence in beauty. ”
This sentence is placed in the "Autumn of the Diaoying Haitang" as a comment, it is really the most appropriate, self-confidence is not innate, but, through our efforts, it can be cultivated and cultivated.
Yishu mentioned in "Round Dance" that "a really temperamental lady never shows off everything she has, she does not tell people what books she has read, where she has been, how many clothes she has bought, because she has no sense of inferiority." "Gold has no feet, no one is perfect", there is no perfect person in this world, and there is no woman who is born perfect.

We don't have to feel inferior to ourselves for our shortcomings and flaws of one kind or another. Self-confidence is the belief that you can succeed through hard work.
Therefore, a truly intelligent woman will learn and progress in the continuous trials of life, constantly enrich and improve herself, and constantly make herself perfect.
And in this process, accumulate the power of self-confidence, constantly affirm yourself, accept yourself, and eventually become a confident and sunny person, who is happy at the same time, but also illuminates the lives of others.
Therefore, at first glance, the outer cover of "The Spring of the Tent Sea" is Shaw's "Flower Girl Pygmalion" (1938), but in fact it wears a piece of Frank Capra Frank Capra's (1897-1991) "Mr. Smith to Washington Mr. . Smith Goes to Washington》(1939)。
It's just that the roles of the heroes and heroines are reversed. The one who needed to enlighten the mind went from young local Senator James Stewart (1908-1997) to silly big sister Judy Hollittle, while mentor and lover changed from Gene Arthur Jean Arthur (1900-1991) to William Holden (1918-1981).
But the way to do political and ideological work is similar: if you want to visit the Lincoln Memorial, then I have to visit the National Archives, which houses important historical artifacts such as the Declaration of Independence.
"Dai Tent Hai Tang Chun" uses a story structure of a big reversal to tell a big joke, prompting us to see in the laughter again and again that the so-called elegant demeanor and elegant conversation of high society do not mean that they are cultured, nor do they show that their souls are clean.

On the contrary, Billy, whose words and deeds appear vulgar, is purer, more intelligent and simple emotions. George Bernard Shaw said: "In modern society, the rich man without guilt is much more dangerous than the poor woman without chastity." He saw clearly early on the hypocrisy, ferocity, ruthlessness, and their brutal destruction of the truly noble, pure humanity.
Unfortunately, character building did not benefit from formal eclecticism, and the hero and heroine fell in love at first sight. If we follow the routine of "Flower Girl", the transformation of men is unconvincing. The British professor did not fall in love with the rustic flower girl from the beginning, and love was slowly bred in the process of transforming each other.
Moreover, the professor's flamboyant and rebellious personality also underpinned this transformation. On the other hand, the newspaper reporter played by William Holden is too gentlemanly and orthodox. It's hard to imagine that such an urban man would take an interest in a woman who talks and behaves vulgarly as a garbage king.
If it is imitating Frank Capra, women are not strong. Judy Hollittle is not a beautiful woman, and she deliberately looks ugly, and her charm is farther away than That of Gene Arthur.
However, the relatively mediocre appearance (or good appearance) somewhat masks the deliberateness and contrivance in terms of voice. The male duck voice we have already learned in the silent film actress of "Singles in the Rain" (1952), basically belongs to the category of disembarking the audience on stage.

In the link of creating comedic effects through voice, the gap between Americans is obvious. On the one hand, american English itself lacks comedy (Mandarin in Chinese is not as good as dialect Coke), and more importantly, they lack the natural comedic feeling of the British. Think of your aunt in The Importance of Being Earnest (1952) ...
Further look at "Dai Tent Hai Tang Chun", sometimes the world is easy, this kind of theme of the story is a bit untested by time, the love of the male and female protagonists is too simple and rough, although the witty dialogue is very beautiful, but the love between the male and female protagonists can not be convincing, and the most special thing is that the subtle irony hidden in this interactive relationship is not better reflected.

On the contrary, Billy and Brooke's relationship is depicted in great detail, and there is a scene describing the two of them playing cards for several minutes, which is almost boring and boring, but it can highlight the delicate relationship between the two, which shows that George Cook has spent a lot of effort in portraying the role.
George Cook does not elaborate on billy's transformation into a lady in "Spring in the Sea of the Tents". The heroine Billy was not well educated and began to read meaningful books led by Paul. The English philosopher Bacon said: "Reading makes people wise, and reading makes people smart." ”
Good books, articles, and poems are like a doctor of psychological counseling and a mentor of noble sentiments. Reading it often is obviously a kind of spiritual food, which can cultivate the mind and explore wisdom; it can purify the soul and broaden the mind.

People have more insights, higher realms, and an open mind that can resolve all kinds of worries and worries on their own, and their mentality is naturally optimistic.
The film shows a kind of cross-class love through the contradictions caused by these two classes, personalities, identities, and other diametrically opposed characters. This is not only the focus of this film, but also the theme that the watch wants to express, that is, love is not hierarchical and statusless. Of course, the film also presents the phenomenon of people "judging people by appearance" through people's attitudes before and after the change of the heroine, which also reflects a social reality.
William Holden was still a newcomer at the time, and it happened to be a hit for Sunset Boulevard, and in "Spring in the Tent", William Holden's character now looks purely like a vase.

Broderick Crawford's acting skills are not to be doubted, his role as a treacherous politician in Contemporary Adulterous All the King's Men (1949) is unforgettable, in this film, he plays a tycoon who likes to use yelling to instruct others, has a rude and shameless personality, and is a rather annoying.
However, Judy Hollittle's interpretation is surprising, what virtue does Judy Hollid have to win best actress? Her appearance is not standard enough, her body is plump, her voice is always sharp and ugly because of the need for the role, if it is really better than acting, I don't think That Betty Davis or Gloria Swanson will lose to her, but this role can really be described as a position, she seems to be born with this woman who can be, and the many scenes of witty dialogue in the film come from her mouth.

Judy Hollittle was born on June 21, 1921, as the only daughter of a family of Jews who immigrated to New York from Russia. She graduated from high school in 1938 with the first place in her class, and she wanted to enter yale School of Drama but gave up because she was too young, and later she took a job as a telephone operator at the Mercury Theatre in Orson Wales.
Later that year, the owner of a nightclub invited her to try her hand at writing the script and lyrics, and later formed a group of five playwrights, including Judy Hollittle, called Revuer, who also broadcast their own radio shows on NBC Radio in 1940. In 1943, 20th Century Fox offered them a temporary contract, and the company asked Judy Hollid to change her name, and her original surname, Tuvim, means Holliday in Hebrew, so her stage name became Judy Holliday.
Judy Holliday did not attend the 23rd Academy Awards in 1951, which was later retaken at home
In 1944, Hollittle signed a 7-year contract with Fox, and after making two unremarkable films, Fox terminated her contract, and Judy Hollittle went to New York to perform on Broadway.
In February 1946, a stage play called "Begonia Spring" was originally planned to be starred by Gene Arthur, but because Ofe Arthur fell ill and was temporarily replaced by Judy Holliday, Judy Hollittle had to study the script within three days.
As a result, Judy Hollider repeated the play for three years, and in 1948 Columbia Pictures bought the film adaptation rights to the play.

Unexpectedly, Judy Hollid was still the second daughter, and the film's lead actress was scheduled to be Rita Hayworth (1918-1987), and Judy Hollittle got the role because Rita Hayworth left everything to get married.
For this reason, Rita Hayworth regretted hearing that Judy Hollittle had won an Oscar.
If you look like the cute Judy Holyr, what else can't be done. One-third of the weak willow wind, one-third of the delicate and moving, plus one-third of the heart-pounding, such a blonde beauty, which woman does not want to be her, which man does not want to be... (You know).
This light-haired cute man is recognized as a quirky pseudo-blonde pro, and such roles have a long history, and even have a market in today's movies.
Judy Hollittle was accused of being a member of the FBI in 1950, and although the FBI could not find any evidence three months later, she was able to continue to appear in films, but the radio and television industry did not remove her from the blacklist until 1952.
In 1965, Judy Hollittle died of breast cancer at the age of 43.
