《午夜梦回》是1959年的一部剧情片。由德尔伯特·曼执导,埃菲·阿夫顿、李·飞利浦、李·格兰特等联袂主演。午夜梦回,又名白发红颜未了情、Middle of the Night。A 24-year-old divorcee, Betty Preisser, a receptionist for a clothing manufacturer, takes some office work home which her boss, widower Jerry Kingsley, a man of 56, drops by to pick up. Professional rather than personal acquaintances, Betty tells Jerry of her loveless marriage to George, a musician. Jerry has a married daughter, Lillian, about her age, and a spinster sister, Evelyn, who is very protective of him. Jerry works up the nerve to invite Betty to dinner. He meets Betty's mother, Mrs. Mueller, and sister Alice, who share the apartment with Betty. Their relationship grows, but she professes to be reluctant to date her employer. Jerry wonders if their age difference is really behind this reluctance. Despite this, a May–December relationship between them develops. Female family members of both of them strongly disapprove. Mrs. Mueller calls him a "dirty old man," while Jerry's sister calls Betty a "fortune hunter" and him a fool, although Lillian's husband Jack offers his congratulations, earning scorn from his wife and causing them to quarrel. A colleague, Walter Lockman, trapped in a long and unhappy marriage, urges Jerry to do whatever it takes to find true happiness. George returns to town and tries to persuade Betty to return to him. In a moment of weakness, they have a romantic tryst. Betty regrets it and explains to Jerry that it meant nothing to her emotionally, but he feels humiliated. His sister observes how depressed Jerry has become when he returns home. At his lowest ebb, he learns that Walter has taken an overdose of pills in a likely suicide attempt. Jerry sees it as a sign to seize the joy in life while he still can. He returns to Betty's waiting arms.

影迷点评:
冰块还没融化 说:好好看。舒服的忘年恋。两人内心各有矛盾及诉求;男主丧偶后一直追寻爱,交往一段时间百货专柜年龄相仿的女友却订婚了,他的内心其实一直渴望得到年轻女孩的爱慕,以此知道老去的自己是否还有魅力;女主在爱的关系里希望能带给对方快乐,过去的婚姻令她感到没有价值。在亲友的反对下,两人几度怀疑这样的爱是否应该继续?未消逝的爱的火光,在湿漉漉的雪天争吵,老友因为感到生活如死灰而想结束自己的生命,男主在那一刻大梦初醒恨自己冲昏头脑和女主吵崩,他冲回去找到女主,两人相拥在一起。分分合合,可以说是把悬念留到最后一幕(本来以为会是开放性结局或女主和前夫乔治复合)。鼓励他结婚的老友也有趣,剩下还有多少时间够你错过感情?想到法国《真爱情未了》,很好看的细腻的片。
西园赋雪 说:May-December Relationship. 看得出重点是想放在老少配带来的家庭阻力,所以相恋的部分有些单薄。在这段感情中,男主比女主要勇敢不少,毕竟女主小猫一样的性格本身就是招人喜欢的点。男主绅士风度加成熟稳重这些对女主这种性格设置都是很有吸引力的,连男主的女儿自己都显露了恋父情结。女主只是爱上一个符合她要求的男人,虽然符合这种标准的男人基本上都是老男人了。结尾还是可以的,两人都各种冲破了一些阻力。另外,马奇真是帅了一辈子,六十岁了也是帅老头。诺瓦克演技虽然一般,但确实美的不可方物。
奥利 说:最好的戏剧改编电影之一,室内戏调度非常有层次,心理渐变式发展被细腻的互动牢牢捕捉,人物走位与机距完美契合情节张力,摄影机像挣扎其中的人一样在努力突破限制,直到最后那个极为简单却最不可思议的镜头出现我们才能确信这是一部唤起“爱“的电影,而它从来没有也不该有特定标准,这和导演之前那部保守的坏电影相比简直云泥之别,特别是这部电影还掺杂了一些在当时与老少恋同样现实和大胆的元素。【1959十佳No.5】
