Ullman was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Motion Picture Actress, Musical or Comedy, and the Writers Guild of America nominated Gershe's screenplay for Best Comedy Adapted from Another Medium. ==Plot== Ann Stanley, who sells real estate in New York City, is on vacation (herself ) with her mother in Greece when her car breaks down. To her rescue comes a young man on a motor () bike, Peter Latham, who has a difficult time persuading Ann to accept a ride. They become better acquainted, drink ouzo and ultimately have sex on a beach. Ann enjoys his company very much, but still views their relationship as a summer fling. Back home, at a party one night, Ann is stunned when her grown daughter turns up with Peter as her date (was not daughter's date - he picked her up at her home in place of daughter's date ). It turns out, however, that Peter's goal is to resume his romantic acquaintance with Ann, having developed feelings for her during the summer. The age difference embarrasses Ann greatly. He is 22 and she is not even the 36 she admitted in Greece to being, but, in reality, 40. Friends and associates of Ann are somewhat aghast at her behavior as the persistent Peter refuses to take no for an answer. In time, after demonstrating a great deal of reluctance, Ann finally acknowledges that the only thing that's important to her is true love. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「40 Carats (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
