三便士歌剧 (1931)

　　The sly melodies of composer Kurt Weill and the daring of dramatist Bertolt Brecht come together onscreen under the direction of German auteur G. W. Pabst (Pandora's Box) in this classic adaptation of the Weimar-era theatrical sensation. Set in the impoverished back alleys of Victorian London, The Threepenny Opera follows underworld antihero Mackie Messer (a.k.a. Mack the Knife) as he tries to woo Polly Peachum and elude the authorities. With its palpable evocation of corruption and dread, set to Weill's irresistible score, The Threepenny Opera remains a benchmark of early sound cinema. It is presented here in both its celebrated German and rare French versions. 　　译文(2): 作曲家库尔特 · 威尔(Kurt Weill)的狡猾旋律和剧作家贝托尔特 · 布莱希特(Bertolt Brecht)的大胆创作，在德国导演 G · W · 帕布斯特(G. W. Pabst，潘多拉盒子(Pandora’s Box))的指导下，在这部经典改编自魏玛时代轰动剧场的作品中同时上映。故事背景设定在维多利亚时代伦敦贫穷的后巷，三文钱的歌剧跟踪黑社会反英雄麦基梅塞尔(又名麦克刀) ，他试图追求波莉皮查姆并躲避当局。在威尔不可抗拒的配乐下，三文钱的歌剧明显唤起了腐败和恐惧，因此它仍然是早期有声电影的基准。它在这里提出了其著名的德国和罕见的法国版本。
