孤立无援1954

　　The least-seen of Mackendrick’s Ealing pictures, The Maggie tells an unusual story of a culture clash between the Old and New Worlds.

Mackendrick's precursor to Local Hero applies an almost anthropological interest in the vestiges of village culture in the postwar world to establish an irresolvable dichotomy between Yankee pragmatism and materialism and the penurious charm and superstitions of the islander我向老板请假，老板问我：“请假干什么？”我回答：“想陪陪我的女朋友！”老板停住了一会儿，随后说：“好吧，这是我的手机号码，假如你女朋友打来找你，你就接她的电话吧。”
