Audience Member This 1960 chinese black and white movie is adapted from Bizet's Carmen. It has English subtitles. It is set in Wanchai district of Hong Kong. It starred Ge Lan aka Grace Chang in the lead role as Deng Si Jia, a f tempestuous nightclub singer with a shady past that have a ill fated affair with a pianist Liang Hanhua who already had a fiancee. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Haha, first review! It's ok, at least if you like b/w movies, and it helps to have seen the taiwanese movie The Hole which has copied some of the sing&dance numbers Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member an outstanding musical from early hong kong cinemas, tho the plot is a little weak. Grace Chang's really "wild" in it. she's a great singer and dancer. im amazed by the opening scene. you can see her doing cover songs like Carmen, Madame Butterfly etc. the original soundtracks are worth checking. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member classic - Grace Chang's best, sultriest movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow! This is a real hidden gem of a film. That to sum it up in a basic sense is the rather wild relationship of a seductress/diva and a pianist. What sets the film apart for me from other love stories is the use of songs. The songs are not only quite pleasant to hear but they reveal a lot about the story and understanding the ever so complicated seductress/diva AKA the Wild rose. A film that is not only pleasing to watch but to listen to as well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie!!!
