简介：In this family saga, Mrs. Parkington recounts the story of her life, beginning as a hotel maid in frontier Nevada where she is swept off her feet by mine owner and financier Augustus Parkington. He moves them to New York, tries to remake her into a society woman, and establishes their home among the wealthiest of New York's high society. Family and social life is not always peaceful, however, and she guides us, in flashbacks, through the rises and falls of the Parkington family fortunes.

简介：劉別謙遺作，其筆觸修成了正果。孤女要步叔父後塵當水管工，卻跟英國這個講究階級與男女有別的社會格格不入。逃出納粹魔掌的波蘭詩人，像找到同道中人般發現了她，但她這時卻跑去當女傭，還打算像正常人一樣嫁入尋常紳士家。來了美國二十多年，劉別謙才將自身處境總結起來。片中上至貴族下至僕人儘管嘴臉可笑，但不致面目可憎，反而都有幾許人性的落墨，也許這才是劉別謙筆觸的最高境界。更厲害的是，這些筆觸彷彿都融會在兩個主角身上，不經意間能跟觀眾心靈互通。今天回看，這是他最歐洲化的作品，近親不就是雷諾亞。 　　Source: 28th HKIFF
