在这部东道主喜剧/奇幻/歌舞片中,1935年最轰动的电影《东道主》是一部喜剧片，影片新意迭出，用抽象的白色场景为背景营造出宏大气势，运用时代倒错的手法，比如信使穿者溜冰鞋传递信件等。故事取材于希腊神话，正当底比斯的女人们正忧心忡忡地等待男人们从战争中归来时，不乏风流的众神之首宙斯却趁壮士出征的当口看中了她们其中的一个，王后阿尔克墨涅。他来到人间，企图引诱她委身自己，无奈自己的外表已然是一位垂垂老者了。于是，他只得变施一计，化身国王安菲特律翁的模样，骗取了王后的信任。谁料，第二天，安菲特律翁和他的将士们从沙场回乡，敏锐的他怀疑自己的妻子不忠，执意要剥夺她王后的桂冠。此时此刻，宙斯的原配妻子赫拉也不得不降临人间，化解矛盾，收拾残局。

Lamenting Thebian women are waiting for the men to come back from war. God Jupiter is attracted to one of them: Alkmene. He goes to earth and tries to seduce her as himself: an old man. Failing in this, he disguises himself as Amphitryon (Alkemene's husband) and tries again. Next morning Amphitryon and his men come back from war; he suspects adultery and wants a divorce. Jupiter's wive Juno now also comes to earth and clears things up.
