剧情简介 《死神假期》是1934年的一部爱情片。由米切尔·莱森执导，弗雷德里克·马奇、凯瑟琳·亚历山大、伊夫琳·维纳布尔等联袂主演。死神假期，又名Death Takes a Holiday。Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily DickinsonIf Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.[Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.(Howard Schumann, talkingpix.co.uk)In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.(Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.(Dave Sindelar, scifilm.org)See also the remake: Death Takes A Holiday (1971)

影迷点评：
想花李达渊的钱 说：有句台词“I thought you modern girls had no nevers”，女主角比起其他的年轻女性角色，仿佛是走古典优雅风，感觉好像不没女配角们爵士时尚啊，包括嗓音都特别有识别度，跟那种典型的中气十足的嗓音不一样。这让我觉得导演在选角上仿佛是有意而为之，成为对比。本是冲着March看的，但是死神的审美，不大符合我的审美，毕竟里面“morden girls”才是我想看黄金时代电影的原因之一，导致对March这个角色的观感也一般。本以为会是霸道总裁式的故事，没想到掺杂“女主角向往死亡”“现代空虚”等这些点，但电影对此刻画也有限，不是走这条道道，主要还是神秘主义，导致对电影观感也一般般了。
Calavera 说：开场是喧闹的群戏庆祝场面，一束鲜花传递，引出人物。室内陈设考究华美、古典优雅，纵深感突出。各种摇镜头，加深运动感。多次出现时钟的特写镜头，两人谈情说爱时拍摄湖中倒映的人影，结尾呼应了死神对爱情的沉重哲思。
漩涡之外 说：迷人阴郁，倜傥儒雅，又萌又飒的死神，给我来一打！早已看穿最后死神认知人间的落脚点要放在“爱”的核心理念上，但是这个推进的过程，还是很多萌点和笑点，他的后知后觉尤其可爱，爱得很学术也很超脱～～PS：马奇真帅！
