在这部少女落难喜剧/歌舞/爱情片中,剧作家P.G. Wodehouse非常著名的一部剧作,并创造了一个专属于被困危机美女的名词,Damsel in distress——心理上的抵抗与生理上受挑逗后的迎合,无奈、恐惧却又夹杂期待的复杂情绪。
Lady Alyce Marshmorton must marry soon, and the staff of Tottney Castle have laid bets on who she'll choose, with young Albert wagering on "Mr. X." After Alyce goes to London to meet a beau (bumping into dancer Jerry Halliday, instead), she is restricted to the castle to curb her scandalous behavior. Albert then summons Jerry to Alyce's aid in order to "protect his investment."
