A wealthy young man (Lui Kay) meets a girl—smart and sparkling but with a rough edge (Nancy Sit)—and decides to transform her into a classy lass. Production company Kam Kwok, eager to promote Sit as the next big thing in the Cantonese cinema's youth campaign, casted the 17-year-old to play her first lead role in a star vehicle, complete with song and dance performances. Kam Kwok promoted the film with a declared policy of ‘four goods': Good cast (teaming her with over 20 established stars), good script (hiring renowned scripter Chan Wan to pen this My Fair Lady (1964)-esque tale), good production design (inviting master Chan King-sam as art director and sparing no expenses to build grandiose sets) and good musical sequences (including the catchy ‘whip dance' and ‘bunny dance' numbers). Teenage Sit may be an embodiment of beauty and innocence but her lively performance, especially when her character takes a rebellious turn, foretells her wonderful turn two years later as one of the titled characters in the masterpiece Teddy Girls (1969).
