Bob Rafelson has stated that this is the final part of an informal trilogy he started with "Five Easy Pieces" and continued with "The King Of Marvin Gardens". In the three, Nicholson has now played son, brother and father. In this one, Nicholson is a wealthy wine dealer who has distanced himself from his wife with his philandering and from his son with his negligence. After he steals a diamond necklace with the help of a safecracker partner, Victor, things start coming apart. His wife sets out to interrupt what she thinks is another one of his weekend dalliances, but is really his trip to pawn the jewels. 　　译文(3): 鲍勃·拉费尔森表示，这是他开始的非正式三部曲的最后一部分；五件简单的事；并继续用“；马文花园之王”；。在三人组中，尼科尔森现在扮演儿子、兄弟和父亲。在这部电影中，尼科尔森是一位富有的葡萄酒经销商，他以自己的花心与妻子保持距离，以自己的疏忽与儿子保持距离。在他偷了一条钻石项链后，事情开始分崩离析。他的妻子打算打断他周末的另一次调情，但这实际上是他典当珠宝的行程。
