Cinema Hong Kong: The Beauties of the Shaw Studio Trailers

Hong Kong cinemas had a wide range of glamorous female stars during the golden age of the 60's and 70's. The series will take the audience on a sentimental journey to the good old days and once again look at the expansive epic costume dramas and huangmei operas in which actresses played both the male and female roles. Rare interviews with Sir Run Run Shaw, stars Ivy Ling Po, Shaw Yin Yin, Tanny Tie Ni and Cheng Pei Pei are also featured.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I saw this about a month ago on one of my Showtime movie channels. I have about 10 of them so it's hard to keep track of. This is one of three Cinema Hong Kong specials that have been airing a few times a week -- the other two are easy to find here on IMDb and deal with kung fu and swordplay films. I've been into Hong Kong films for several years but this particular documentary opened me up to an era that I knew next to nothing about. Cheng Pei-pei meant a lot more to her industry than just playing a villain in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Now I need to check out Come Drink With Me. Check this special out if you see that it's on.
