◎简　　介
Set against the background of the Battle of Waterloo, Becky Sharp is the story of Vanity Fair by Thackeray. Becky and Amelia are girls at school together, but Becky is from a "show biz" family, or in other words, very low class. Becky manages to insinuate herself in Amelia's family and gets to know all their friends. From this possibly auspicious- beginning, she manages to ruin her own life, becoming sick, broke, and lonely, and also ruins the lives of many other "loved ones". In the movie we get to see the class distinctions in England at the time, and get a sense of what it was like for the English military at the time of the Napoleonic wars.
In the years just preceding Waterloo, best friends Amelia Sedley (Frances Dee) and Becky Sharp (Miriam Hopkins) graduate from Miss Pinkerton's Academy for Girls. The wealthy Amelia invites the penniless Becky into the bosom of her family home while the manipulative Becky plots her climb up the social ladder. Entirely lacking in scruples and unhampered by conscience or morality, Becky ascends to the very pinnacle of society, crushing anyone who stands in her path.
Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, Rouben Mamoulian's adaptation of Thackeray's epic novel Vanity Fair was the first film to be produced in three strip Technicolor.

每集一小时，一共15集，长达900分钟的关于电影艺术的纪录片，制作于于2011年。这部纪录片由英国电影评论家、被称为“电影贩毒者”的马克·卡曾斯，根据自己撰写的同名著作拍摄而成，摄制期长达5年，跨越六大洲，展现了近120年的世界电影史及近千部电影作品。影片用电影化的方式讲述了电影史，探索电影人的创作如何被特定历史事件影响，而电影人之间又是怎样互相启发的。
前两集，主要是讲早起电影的诞生和发展，还有好莱坞的崛起。讲的很全面，还采访了一些电影工作者，如斯坦利·多南，罗伯特·唐尼，格斯·范·桑特，简·坎皮恩，克莱尔·丹尼斯。片中大量穿插不少经典老片的片段进行讲解，同时还有现代世界的一些取景。前两集里出现了《卡萨布兰卡》，《长屋绅士录》，《虎胆忠魂》，《我略知她一二》，《出租车司机》，《月球旅行记》，《2001太空漫游》，《西部往事》，《随心所欲》，《一个国家的诞生》，《党同伐异》，《路上的灵魂》，《公民凯恩》，《巴格达窃贼》，《乱世佳人》，《雨中曲》，《马耳他之鹰》，《摄影师》，《将军号》，《寻子遇仙记》，《城市之光》，《日落大道》，《大独裁者》，《热情似火》，《北方的纳努克》，《黑房子》，《圣女贞德蒙难记》，《狗镇》等等。

这是一套足以让任何一个资深影迷和电影工作者都为之兴奋的产品，它系统地阐述在过去100多年里，电影艺术在欧洲从诞生到发展、壮大、开拓的过程，按照地域的划分系统性地对欧洲主要各国在电影艺术上的发展做了一个梳理。第一集首先就给观众讲述了电影艺术在1895年诞生的过程，由法国卢米埃尔兄弟所拍摄的《火车进站》、《工厂大门》等珍贵片段都被收录其中。第二集讲述的则是瑞典的电影，瑞典作为北欧最为重要的电影艺术发展国家，曾经诞生了伯格曼等著名大导演，但谁又曾想到，他们也经历过电影的低谷。1912年所有瑞典电影人聚集在一起的一次盛会真正让瑞典电影走向了世界的前沿。第三集则来到了法斯宾德、文德斯等的故乡德国，早期的表现主义电影正是从那里诞生而来，成为德国电影的标志之一。新浪潮运动的发源地法国是第四集的主角，它详细介绍了法国电影工业在战争后的复苏与巨大先导性，其中选用了许多耳熟能详的电影片段。第五集则带领我们来到了英国，这个发明出特写镜头和蒙太奇技术的欧洲文化大国却在一战以后开始没落，被其他欧洲国家赶超，但它并没有气馁，一直以其独特的古典意韵在世界电影中独树一帜。在第六集里我们将详细看到有声电影工业对电影发展历史的影响。
本套作品是1996年由专拍电影史纪录片的Kevin Brownlow和Dan Carter合作拍摄的电视系列片，由英国著名影星肯尼斯·布拉纳担任旁白，是电影爱好者入门不可或缺的资料。
