Uyu aive murume, shure kwezvose, akaisa mota dzemagetsi muzvigaro zvemitambo Iye Tingler kupa vateereri nhengo jolt – chaiyo –pakati pezviitiko zvakakosha uye akange ashandisa "Illusion-O" panguva 13 Zvipoko izvo zvakapa vateereri simba rekusarudza kana vakaona zvipoko pachiratidziri kana kwete!

Strait-bhachi akazvirumbidza gimick rakakura kupfuura ese, zvisinei: Joan Crawford.

Zvakanaka, kwete chaizvo…

Nhengo dzevateereri dzakapihwa mapurasitiki ekunyepedzera pavakapinda yemitambo kuti vaone Strait-bhachi, asi pamari yangu, Joan Crawford ndiye akange ari gimmick hombe, uye mukomana, yaive doozy.

Strait-bhachi inotaurira nyaya yaLucy Harbin (Crawford), uyo anouya kumba husiku humwe kuwana murume wake (Lee Majors) akarara nemumwe mukadzi. Akatsamwa uye asina kusungwa, anotora demo, akanyarara achipinda mukamuri yekurara, uye asingazive kuti mwanasikana wake aive akatarisa, anovadimbura misoro vese vari vaviri!

Lucy anotumirwa kunopotera kwemakore makumi maviri, uye mwanasikana wake, Carol, akarerwa natete vake nasekuru. Firimu parinofambira mberi nekufamba kwenguva, Diane Baker, uyo anozotamba Senator Ruth Martin mukati Kunyarara kweGwayana, Carol wese akura uye akagadzirira kuroora murume wezviroto zvake, Michael (John Anthony Hayes).

Mhuri yaMichael yakapfuma, asi kana ivo Michael kana ivo, havana kuziva nezve zvakapfuura zvaCarol. Lucy paanosvika, chokwadi chinobuda, uye zvishoma nezvishoma nyika yavo inotanga kutenderera uye miviri inotanga kuita murwi!

Iyi firimu yakauya makore maviri chete mushure Chii Chakaitika kuna Mwana Jane? naCastle, vachitarisira kuwana mari mukukwezva kwaCrawford kune vateereri vadiki avo vakamuwana kuburikidza nefirimu iyoyo uye mafirimu ake paakatanga kutambidzwa zvakare paterevhizheni.

Kuunza Crawford hakuna kuuya pasina kwayo, tichati, miedzo nematambudziko, zvakadaro.

Chikamu ichi pakutanga chakange chakanyorwa nekukandwa naJoan Blondell (Nightmare Alley). Nehurombo, iye aifanira kusiya chirongwa mushure metsaona, uye Crawford akaunzwa kutsiva iye.

Iye mutsva Joan akabvuma kutamba basa, asi zvakare akakumbira mvumo yescript uye kunyorazve kukuru, kushandura magumo uye kuratidzwa kwehunhu hwake.

Iye akarwirawo uye akahwina kuiswa kwechigadzirwa kwaPepsi pakaunda yekubikira. Kune avo vaisaziva, Crawford akange akaroora iye muvambi uye CEO wekambani uye kuhaya Crawford zvairevawo kushambadza soda, kazhinji kunyarara kwazvo kumashure.

Nekudaro, mune ino kesi ye Strait-bhachi zvairevawo kukanda Mitchell Cox, Mutevedzeri weMutungamiri wePepsi, semumwe wevaimbove varapi vaLucy uyo anomushanyira mushure mekunge asiya hupoteri. Izvi zvakaitwa, maererano nerunyerekupe, pasina ruzivo rweCastle.

Vazhinji vakatsoropodza Crawford pamusoro pemakore, uye hapana kana mumwechete semwanasikana wavo wekurera Christina, asi ndine chokwadi kuti paive nevarume vaiita zvakafanana panguva iyoyo vasina kumbokandirwa muchiedza chimwechete chaaive.

Sezvandambotaura kare, bhaisikopo iri bonkers, asi ine nguva dzayo. Chiedza nemumvuri zvinonyanya kushandiswa mushe pano, uye dema uye chena spectrum inongosimudzira iwo o-so-akasviba akadzika.

Ini ndinonyanya kuda avo vanovhura maficha apo Crawford anopinda muimba yekurara uye mapani emakera kumadziro kwatino muona achisimudza demo mumumvuri. Anounza naro pasi nesimba, uye tinoona mumvuri wemusoro wemurume wake uchibhururuka kubva pamubhedha kubva pane iro simba rakakura!

Crawford naBaker vane hunyoro hwepamoyo pamwe nemumwe pachiratidziri, kunyangwe munguva dzekupokana. Chiso chemukadzi mudiki chinoonekera chekare, uye ivo vese vanogona kusvika kune iyo mbishi, pamusoro-iyo-yepamusoro melodramatic nzvimbo mumitambo yavo.

Zvakadaro, hapana munhu aripo akafanana naCrawford pachiratidziri. Maziso evateereri anokwezva kwaari sekunge nemagineti, uye nezvehukuru hwake hwese, kunyangwe mufirimu senge Strait-bhachi kune dzimwe nguva dzakanaka dzerunyararo apo paanotaridza kunge anofema uye isu tinogutsikana kubata mweya wedu naye.

Runyararo irworwo runomushandira zvakanaka munguva dzekupedzisira dzemufirimu, idzo dzinotamba sekuputira kunoonekwa kwechakavanzika chaPerry Mason.

Iyi firimu yakavhurwa kuongororwa kwakasanganiswa nevazhinji vachirumbidza mashandiro aCrawford apo vachivhundutsa firimu rose.

"Ndazara nekuyemura Joan Crawford," Elaine Rothschild akanyora mukati Mafirimu Mukudzokorora, "Nekuti kunyangwe mune drek seizvi, iye anopa kuita!"

Zvakadaro, Castle yaive murume ane gimmick, uye kunyangwe iwe ukasarudza mapurasitiki kana maCrawford achiratidzira kuratidzwa pane mashoma kuongororwa, chirongwa chakashanda, uye yaive bhokisi hofisi yakarova!

Iwe unogona kuona Strait-bhachi pane akasiyana siyana ekushambadzira masevhisi, uye kana usati, iwe chaizvo unofanirwa!

Tarisa uone tirera pazasi!
