Shaw Brothers musicals captured the tastes, trend and psyche of the cinema-going public in the 1960s and the 1970s. In The Lark, 1960s pop star Carrie Ku-mei plays pop star Little Lark, her most famous role. The movie is also a treasure trove of some of the most popular Mandarin songs of all time.
Other Shaw musicals include Hong Kong Nocturne, starring the legendary Cheng Pei-pei, and Til the End of Time, the first film by Eurasian stunner Jenny Hu and numerous other classics. |
