Audience Member viewed on 1/9/04 When I mentioned the movie title, Mum remembered the name of the female lead instantly. Ge Lan was not a ravishing beauty but her talents and amiable face made her very popular then. An era when talented and friendly movie stars were truly the idols. It is a musical who seems to be more interested in the song and dance sequences. The songs are very catchy and dance sequences are simple and yet wholesomely fun to watch. They remind me of the senior citizens' folk dance and you will get a pretty good idea what they look like. Youngsters will cringe on the nerdy dance moves. There is a sad episode in the story. Mambo Girl is found out to be an orphan on the day before her birthday. She runs away from her very caring foster family to look for her real Mum in a nightclub working as a toilet attendant. When the daughter and mother meet, the scene is rather touching. The mother jokingly denies her identity but goes on to ask alot about her daughter's life like a very concerned stranger. Yes, all things will end well in this very happy musical. The story may not really light you up but the songs surely will. You will believe handling obstacles in life can be that simple. Just sing out the blues and dance all night long with people who care and love you. Rating: B Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
