Sheltering from the 1918 Spanish Flu at their seaside estate, a Progressive journalist and his socialite wife take in a mysterious grifter as a private cook. But when the plague descends on the posh island, the family and staff find themselves cut off from society and, like castaways, struggling to survive. The new cook sees an opportunity to rouse his fellow staff to re-think...。哈维．凯特尔是一个多面化的好演员，他在本片中饰演一名不负责任的父亲，执迷于以老千手段发财致富，以致忽略了照顾家庭，常常违背了他对家人许下的诺言。他的大女儿无奈放弃个人梦想，姐兼母职照顾妹妹。当父亲回过头来看到这种情形，才蓦然发觉他枉为人父。新秀导演安东尼．达山把这部家庭伦理片拍得十分感人，也深刻地检讨了为人父母的责任。哈维．凯特尔的精彩演出可以跟后来演出的《烟》互相辉映。。
