空中飞人

　　Mike Ribble was once a great trapeze artist - and the only to have completed a triple somersault - before his accident. Tino joins the circus, and manages to covince Mike to teach him the triple. Meanwhile Lola, a tumbler, wants to get in on the act. Written by Colin Tinto {cst@imdb.com}


　　---------------------------------------------


　　Tino Orsini has learned the trapeze from his father but he travels to Europe to seek out Mike Ribble, one of the few men who has managed to complete a triple somersault. Ribble no longer works the trapeze and now walks with a cane after a nasty fall left him a cripple. Orsini convinces him to act as his catcher and all is well until the gold digging Lola, wholl do just about anything to become part of a major circus act, arrives on the scene. Her presence creates friction between the two men and puts in doubt whether Tino will ever accomplish the elusive triple. Written by garykmcd

　　Mike Ribble was the sixth trapeze artist ever to complete an almost impossible triple somersault. Naturally gifted Tino Orsini wants to be the seventh, if he can only persuade a retired Ribble to teach him how and to be his catcher. Ribble retired from the high flying following his trapeze accident, which not only broke his body - he now walks with a limp and a cane - but more importantly his spirit. Orsinis enthusiasm eventually brings Ribbles spirit back to life. "Ribble & Orsini" become the talk of the circus as they work on the triple somersault. However, Lola, a acrobat in the same circus, will do whatever she needs to do to make sure the circus spotlight is solely on her. Written by Huggo

Mike说空中飞人是两个人的事，容不下第三个人，所以女主是破坏俩男主感情的小三儿吗；看他们飞来飞去看得我都要恐高症发作了，但伯特在空中秋千上的身姿真是优美

剧情神奇，感情线更神奇。看到空中秋千第一反应是dick grayson（喂

兰卡斯特年轻时候就是在马戏团的，直到受伤后才退出当了电影演员，这部电影还真是他人生的写照了。当时已经四十几岁的他据说除了那个三周跳都是自己完成的全部飞人动作，不服不行。也难怪他身材那么完美了。。。故事的感情戏有点莫名吧，感觉女主角吉娜虽然漂亮美艳，却难以和兰卡斯特或柯蒂斯中的任何一个产生火花，反倒是他俩配得很，要是戏份再多点，那就是另一出《成功的滋味》啦。卡罗尔里德的很多镜头都很有压迫感，配合刚好就很惊险刺激的马戏表演，多场戏都令人屏息凝神

寬銀幕彩色攝影跟寬敞又繁複的景深營造（DP是Robert Krasker，美術是Rino Mondellini，馬戲團製景及機位擺置應頗費工 ），被八點檔芭樂三角戀情節扯後腿⋯其扯後腿程度，跟Gina Lollobrigida的角色的討人厭程度有得比⋯原著小說兩位空中飛人有同性戀情愫（不意外XD），被移除了。總覺得Burt Lancaster爬上繩索時的腿部動作，俐落得不像跛腳人士？！

真的很白学……”No one’s gonna come between.”

所有以马戏团为题材的电影，剧情都好夸张。四位演员都要赞一下。

主角的存在是为了阻止他们相爱。特兰卡斯特本飞人技术了得柯蒂斯太受。

爱情元素固不可少，但丰富生动的马戏世界才是真正的主角

悬在空中的人生。观赏性就值五星，兰卡斯特回归老本行，除triple外所有杂技动作亲力亲为，非常好看。三位主演极其合拍，尤其是兰卡斯特和柯蒂斯间火花四溅。三主角间暧昧关系值得玩味，分分合合，戏剧十足的对峙持续到最后一刻，正如空中飞人表演般让人全程悬着心

各类人物都有特色，侏儒、蟒蛇、马技、火圈、小丑等经典马戏团元素；倒立谈话，街边杂耍；三角关系的对峙，女主的转变；

看开头以为是温情励志剧我真是大错特错……Mike→Tino→Lola→Mike的循环三角相当萌，只是剧情简直把女主塑造成反派洗都洗不回来是不是有点玩脱，imdb上都有两个帖子把她当做破坏两男主感情的小三声讨了orz
