Made for only $350,000 in 1985 when no one wanted to fund or star in a movie about lesbians, Desert Hearts is widely considered the first full-length lesbian love story, and its success paved the way for the proliferation of lesbian films we enjoy today. Directed by Donna Deitch and set in 1950's Reno, Nevada, Desert Hearts tells the story of a 35-year-old uptight female professor Vivian (Helen Shaver) who comes to town to file for divorce and ends up falling in love with a free-spirited 25-year-old casino worker Cay (Patricia Charbonneau). Although Vivian left her husband because she had "drowned in still waters," she is not quite prepared for the tidal wave-effect Cay has on her life. As Vivian herself admits, her life is all about "order," and her image of herself as a scholar and a professional, upstanding woman does not include a relationship with a woman. Cay, meanwhile, is living at home with her stepmother, Frances (Audra Lindley) while she waits to meet someone who "counts"--and she almost immediately recognizes that Vivian is that someone. Both women struggle with conflicting desires and a sense of obligation to others, and are ultimately drawn together not just because of their attraction to each other, but because each woman offers the other something she has been unable to find on her own.。一位天真的年轻美国人，一位愤世嫉俗的老英国外交官在1952年越南和一个美丽的年轻女孩的政治上存在分歧。 这部改编自格雷厄姆·格林关于美国在战前印度支那的外交政策失败的预言小说，在这部小说中，奥迪·墨菲扮演了一个天真的年轻美国人，与年长的、愤世嫉俗的迈克尔·雷德格雷夫相反。他们在对一个年轻女子的竞争中，对越南人民的心灵和思想进行了广泛的不同意见。墨菲想要改革她，让她成为典型的中产阶级美国家庭主妇|雷德格雷夫接受了她无法制定或保留一个政治理想的能力，同时也承诺她不会有真正的未来，他反对墨菲试图改变她。目前还不清楚墨菲是否只是他所表现出来的——一个笨拙的美国佬，或者是美国秘密行动的蓄意代理人。。
