1950年代,国内某个偏远小火车站上有这样一群人:绰号“老解决”(赵子岳)的老站长,工作、生活经验丰富,车站与附近公社的大小事务,基本没有能难倒他的;外号“老怀表”(田烈)的老站务员,即将退休却不舍得退休,对于要来接替他工作的年轻同事,他是一百个不放心;兼管职工福利的站务员“秦广播”(陈志坚)人如其名,一天到晚播报着头条新闻;人称“小发明”(曹昌焕)的搬道员工作之余爱鼓捣小创造,他正和姐姐铁英(李长乐)计划着在小河边建个小发电站,好让车站和公社用上电,不过这事是瞒着“老解决”偷偷进行的。此外,车站附近的生产队上有一位人送外号“胖队长”(凌元)的妇女队长,她跟“老解决”已互相喜欢了很长时间,但双方都羞于表白。 要接“老怀表”班的是原铁路业余学校的青年教员段志高(韩非)。满怀一腔热情投入到新的工作中时,书生气十足的段志高由于经验不足闹了许多洋相,惹得“老怀表”摇头叹气,对他颇为不满,但“老解决”很看重他这股子热心劲,认为假以时日他会有大作为。——段志高的能力,也的确如“老解决”所预言,他在筹建发电站一事上帮了“小发明”和铁英许多大忙。 不久,筹建发电站一事被“老解决”得知,众人本以为他会生气,哪想他竟大加赞叹,而发现“万事俱备,只缺一个发电机”时,如何筹到一个发电机成了他的心头大事,一旁的“老怀表”也在听过段志高的方案讲述后改变了对他的看法。夜半“老解决”自言自语,所念叨的发电机被隔墙的“秦广播”理解成“胖队长”,于是次日天不亮他就迫不及待地向“胖队长”广播这条大新闻,巧的是,“老解决”刚好准备向“胖队长”借用发电机。两人随后的碰面令人捧腹。而段志高和铁英在朝夕相处中,也不知觉互生好感。
"The Witch Burnt Alive" After a very long, but visually arresting animated opening credits sequence, Luchino Visconti (Death in Venice) directs the first story, which is the longest of the five, taking approximately a third of the film's running length. Mangano plays a superstar actress and model who travels to a mountain resort, only to find the well-to-do inhabitants have prejudices and preconceived notions about her based on her public persona. The women are all jealous and the men all want to sleep with her, but all Mangano wants is to be left alone. It's a mostly somber satirical piece, but story-wise, it languishes in its modest idea a bit long, becoming inconsequential to all but those fascinated by the realities of being famous. "Community Spirit" Bolognini's piece isn't really a story. It's more of a visual gag, in a short segment that features Mangano offering to take an injured man to a hospital, driving him at breakneck speed throughout the city, but not stopping at locations where he might find aid. I won't give away the punchline here, but it succeeds in being amusing, even if it's the kind of thing that only is interesting the first time through. "The Earth Seen from the Moon" The esteemed writer/director, Pier Paolo Pasolini (Salo), crafts the middle segment, which is the most artistic and memorable of the five. Reminiscent in style to "Don Quixote", a recently widowed father and his son travel around the country in search of a new wife and mother, and after a long period, they discover the literally speechless Mangano. She brings joy into their lives, but they are poor, and in order to find a better life for themselves, they concoct a scheme to try to make some quick cash. The story is contrived, and not completely interesting, but the outlandish performances, artwork, and costumes does evoke great charm and likeability. Although mute, it's probably the most appealing of Mangano's five performances, and Toto is terrific. "The Sicilian" Franco Rossi directs the fourth an shortest piece, a straight-forward revenge story that comes and goes before it ever has a chance of becoming interesting. It's violent, but easily the least satisfying of the five stories. "A Night Like Any Other" Eastwood's appearance is clearly the biggest attraction here, which was filmed in between the Sergio Leone "Dollars" trilogy. It's an enjoyable departure from his normal roles, playing a comedic romantic lead, and he is affably fun to watch. Famed Italian director, Vittorio de Sica (The Bicycle Thief, Umberto D.) does a masterful job with the story, which perfectly blends the mundane and the fantasy in a visually satisfying way. The story is about a bored housewife (Mangano, of course), who tries in vain to get her husband to realize that he is not as romantic as he used to be. The scene is interspersed with comedic romance sequences revolving around the couple's past romantic interludes, and dreams of how their lives should be.
