This is a melodrama about a girl who has an affair with her brother-in-law.

A man just out of jail seduces a lonely woman with more money than sense. He swindles her out of both, then kills her. Very quickly, he's hitched up with another woman and a businessman friend.

There's nothing like a good, opulent, gaudy musical to lift the spirits, but when it's a 1960's Hong Kong musical orchestrated by a Japanese director and composer, it breaks through the ranks as a classic of campy kitsch. A follow-up to the previous year's megahit Hong Kong Nocturne, with the same Japanese creative team, Hong Kong Rhapsody follows the fortunes of an unemployed magician whose love life is so knotty it would take Houdini to unravel!
