Hong Kong comedy starring Connie Chan Po-chu

HK mystery film.

Wise Wives and Foolish Husbands

In this 1960s family comedy though, marriage is attached with a string of feudal obligations. Shun (Cheung Ying-choi) and Sum (Nam Hung) are happily married with a son. Shun's childless uncle from the US proposes to take away their son as his own and, when the couple refuse, demands that Shun marry a second wife to bear him an offspring. The couple in distress team up with their naughty friends in playing a game of bluff, which sets off a series of whimsical and side-splitting sequences. Director Chor Yuen tied the knot with actress Nam Hung three years after the film's release, leading to one of the most celebrated marriages in Hong Kong cinema.

Leung Sing-por and Liu Enjia reunite with director Wong Tin-lam as they carry their inter-cultural feud to the dining table in this foodie comedy. This time, the two plump stars play owners of competing restaurants—Cantonese cuisine in one and Northern cuisine in the other, of course—whose rivalry heats up when their respective children decide to get married. While the script by Eileen Chang cleverly uses the two regions' foods to bring out clash of cultures, the film's title already says that it is ultimately a heartwarming film about two decent men who must put petty arguments aside for their children's happiness.

Director Wong Yiu, recognising the spending power of a new demographic, was looking to create a teenage sensation for the factory girls. It soon became a social phenomenon in the 1960s. Former child star Connie Chan Po-chu fitted the bill perfectly with her doe-eyed innocence framed by silky long hair. In Girls are Flowers, she plays a young tutor falling in love with a handsome boy. However, their road to romance is paved with potholes and speed bumps. Chan's fellow former child star Nancy Sit plays the boy's younger sister who saves the day with her shrewd, nimble-minded plans. Sit's role may be small but with radiance from her glorious smile and beaming personality, she brightens up this musical romantic comedy like a fairy-tale nymph.

A light romantic-comedy about mothers who want their daughters to settle down and marry. So they try to lure new male tenants into renting a room in their apartment, hoping love will spark between them and their daughters. Lai-wan terribly disagrees with her mother’s philosophy of searching for suitors like this, and does her best to avoid her tenant. However, her younger sister Lai-ha constantly encourages Lai-wan to fall in love, while also helping the new tenant win her heart. Lai-wan’s cousin Sau-chu is also facing a similar situation but not only can she not stand her own disgusting tenant, she has already fallen in love with another man. A trio of car manufacturers colleagues who are also bachelors, happen to find themselves stuck in this situation together.
