听我细唱

　　The film is based loosely on the life of the Irish Tenor, Josef Locke (1917-1999), played by Ned Beatty. The film's exposition begins in Liverpool's Irish community, with Micky O'Neil (Adrian Dunbar) running Hartley's Night Club. Micky is a bit of a rogue, and although he considers Nancy Doyle (Tara Fitzgerald) his girl friend, he seems conflicted in saying "I love you". Following a disastrous love scene, where Nancy briefly shows us all, Micky attempts to win Nancy by booking a series of impostors, including Franc Cinatra (Joe Cuddy) and Mr X (William Hootkins), a Josef Locke impersonator -- who travels under the 'X' since the real Josef Locke is wanted in England for tax evasion. When Micky finds that Nancy's Mum Cathleen (Shirley Ann Field) was Josef Locke's special girl in the 1950's -- he tries to hook them up. Another disastrous love scene (no nudity), and Micky loses his job -- vowing to find the real Joe and bring him back to England from his exile in Ireland to perform for Cathleen and thereby to win back Nancy. The rest of the film covers Micky's search in the beautiful emerald isle, with a triumphant final performance of the real Joe at the about-to-be-torn-down Hartley's. The tunes are classic Locke, although sung by Vernon Midgley. (There is a CD of the same name with original Josef Locke's voice with recordings of 25 of Locke standards). The closing minutes of the film have the bulldog policeman Jim Abbott (David McCallum) closing in on Joe -- "Is it or isn't it?" the motto of Mr. X. belies the ending where the final scam plays out. 　　译文(2): 这部电影是松散的基础上生活的爱尔兰男高音，约瑟夫洛克(1917年至1999年) ，由内德贝蒂扮演。电影的展览开始于利物浦的爱尔兰社区，米奇 · 奥尼尔(阿德里安 · 邓巴饰)经营着哈特利夜总会。米奇是一个有点流氓，虽然他认为南希道尔(塔拉菲茨杰拉德)他的女朋友，他似乎在说“我爱你”的矛盾。在南希简短地向我们展示了一个灾难性的爱情场景之后，米奇试图通过预定一系列的骗子来赢得南希的芳心，包括弗兰克 · 辛纳屈(弗兰克 · 西纳特拉，乔 · 卡迪饰)和 X 先生(威廉姆·霍金斯饰) ，一个乔瑟夫 · 洛克的模仿者——他旅行时用的是“ X”，因为真正的乔瑟夫 · 洛克在英国因逃税而被通缉。当米奇发现南希的妈妈凯瑟琳(雪莉安菲尔德)是约瑟夫洛克的特别的女孩在20世纪50年代-他试图勾搭他们。另一个灾难性的爱情场景(没有裸体) ，米奇失去了他的工作-发誓要找到真正的乔，把他从爱尔兰流亡回到英格兰，为凯瑟琳表演，从而赢回南希。影片的其余部分则是关于米奇在美丽的翡翠岛上的寻找，以及在即将被拆除的哈特利酒吧里真正的乔的最后一场胜利演出。这些曲调是洛克的经典之作，尽管是由弗农 · 米奇利演唱的。(有一张同名的 CD，原声是约瑟夫 · 洛克的，录制了洛克标准的25张唱片)。影片的最后几分钟，斗牛犬警察吉姆 · 艾伯特(大卫 · 麦卡勒姆饰)逼近乔——“到底是不是?”X 先生的座右铭掩盖了最终骗局的结局。
