Kazan adapted his own best-selling autobiographical first novel into this complex and turbulent portrait of a prosperous Los Angeles ad man turned suddenly and irretrievably sour to his luxurious life, beautiful wife and giddily successful career. Kirk Douglas' manic, high-keyed portrait of a man desperate to escape his gilded cage is matched by the nervous pacing and experimental flourishes of Kazan's most avant-garde feature. The Arrangement offers both a harrowing portrait of mid-life malaise and a sunblinded vision of L.A. as a cauldron of 20th century anxieties. 　　译文(2): 喀山将他自己的畅销自传体小说改编成这部复杂而动荡的描写洛杉矶一个繁荣的广告人突然变得无可挽回地对他奢华的生活、美丽的妻子和令人眩晕的成功事业感到厌恶。柯克 · 道格拉斯(Kirk Douglas)描绘了一个不顾一切想要逃离自己镀金牢笼的男人的狂躁、高调的肖像，与喀山最前卫的特色——紧张的步伐和实验性的繁荣相得益彰。《安排》既描绘了一幅令人痛心的中年不适的画面，也将洛杉矶描绘成一个充满20世纪焦虑的大熔炉。
