Happiness at the Door
Cast: Tang Bik-wan, Law Kim-long, Tam Lan-hing, Leung Sing-po, Hui Ying-sau
1958 / B&W / D Beta / Cantonese / 101min
Screen buddies Leung Sing-po and Tam Lan-hing team up once again for this boisterous comedy of marriage, attraction and mistaken identity. The pair co-stars as ugly rich brats who are eager to escape their arranged engagement because of each other's ugly looks. Without telling the other person, they convince Yuet-pak (Tang Bik-wan) and debt-ridden Kam-fuk (Law Kim-long) to pose as their new future bride and groom, respectively. Little do they know that Yuet-pak and Kam-fuk are actually engaged to each other! In addition to Leung and Tam's comedic screen chemistry (enhanced by their hilarious makeup), the film's other highlight is definitely the playful Cantonese opera tunes composed by Cantonese music legend Woo Man-sum.
