影片是根据英国著名戏剧家克里斯多夫．马罗的同名戏剧改编。16世纪的英格兰国王冷落王后，妞干竟然公开地和自己的同性爱人展开种种惊世骇俗的爱恋行为，妞干使得整个王国的统治陷于崩溃，面临瓦解。有先见之明的王后最后使出心狠手辣的毒招，阻止了这场灾难的来临用“高度概念化”来形容这部影片仍不能确切表达它的复杂性。Jarman以现代性别政治的眼光改写了16世纪Christopher Marlowe的戏剧。故事围绕Edward国王公开的同性恋行为展开，并不是发生在奢华的历史环境中，影片场景使用了光秃秃的墙壁，肮脏的地板，演员也身穿时髦装束。Jarman还充分发掘了Marlowe原作中所有同性恋的潜台词，并将其作为表达重点。他使用了原作的对白，但将这个戏剧性的故事与当代对同性恋的压制及同性恋者的抗争混合在一起。影片没有确切的时代，多数时间里各个年代的情形交错在一起。

回复 :Marg Duffield (Lee Remick) is the Maine wife of Al (Joseph Sommer) whose daughter Peg (Marlee Matlin) is deaf. Peg's husband is killed in a car accident on the way to visit the Maine house, and the Duffield's take in Peg's six year old daughter, Lisa, while Peg recovers. Since Lisa is a speaking child, Marg thinks of her the way she wanted Peg to be, and seeks guardian custody.Remick's role is secondary to Matlin's, though she is presented as a tragic figure, particularly as Al refuses to help her plan to gain Lisa. Peg's deafness is said to be from a childhood case of spinal meningitis, and the teleplay by Louisa Burns-Bisogno, with story by Louisa and Tom Bisogno, reduces Remick to a textbook mother who is self-hating from guilt and therefore cannot love her own daughter. In a memorable scene, Peg angrily signs her exit to Marg, since Marg has refused to learn sign language, though Peg has learned to speak for her mother.The treatment uses the Tennesee Williams play, The Glass Menagerie, for therapy, to help Peg overcome her grief and also Marg `lose her unicorn horn' and embrace her daughter. Whilst Peg choosing to act in this play may seem an odd choice for someone grieving, what is more noticable is that Matlin is far too more glamourous to be believable as Laura. The Bisogno's include Michael O'Keefe as Dan, Peg's deceased husband's best friend and director of Actors Theatre for the Deaf, to offer Peg a new romantic interest, and thankfully she rebukes his protestations of love. Although his opinion may be influenced by his `crush', Dan tells Peg that being different is better than being normal, since the normal ones are as `common as weeds'. This philosophy reads as rather Nietzschean, on the level of artists not being restricted to the common moral code.Director Karen Arthur either has those signing also speaking or those signing being translated for the audience, though in one scene the sound of lapping waves drowns out the dialogue between Dan and Peg. She also gives Matlin some good moments, one being her scream of horror when she hears the news of the death of her husband, and another when she chases Remick down a flight of steps, hitting her.
