What happens

，是一部在1962年上映的台灣電影，由自立電影公司所出品，李行導演所執導，魏平澳、戽斗、穆虹、楊月帆等人主演。 外省籍的中醫師陳奚亭育有兩子增宏、增良，以及小女兒小俐。陳家從中國大陸遷居來台灣，並在本省籍的西醫師黃習明的診所隔壁開業。 而黃習明除了育有兩子武雄、小龍、女兒美智以外，還有一個童養媳的阿菊。這兩家，一個本省、一個外省，語言根本不通，再加上中、西醫的技術不同，雖然表面上相處得融洽，但彼此間還是有著許多嫌隙。 起初，大家也都禮尚往來、相安無事，然而就在這兩家的年輕人彼此看對了眼，衝突也因此而引爆。 最後，在黃、陳家的喜宴上一片和樂融融，陳奚亭、黃習明也划起了酒拳，更一同比出「兩相好」的手勢，象徵著本省、外省一家親。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
