‘This is the final film before Fong Yim-fun's wedding', declare subtitles at the beginning of Follow the Husband. Life imitated art when Fong indeed retired after marriage, following her husband. She plays Lee, a rich girl pressured by her wealthy family to get married, but the lass—at once quirky and spoiled—can't find someone up to par. The avid fisher meets engineer Ting (Law Kim-long) by the pond and next thing she knows, they are married! Turns out that Ting's family is male chauvinistic and Lee's female-centred, leaving the two sides at complete odds with each other. Audiences are familiar with Fong playing the kind, nurturing wife, but such is her versatility that she is a real pro at being a shrewish firecracker too. The newlyweds start arguing on their wedding night, but at the end, they manage to reach a balance of mutual respect. The film is a portrait of marriage, written expressly for an actress who was about to be married. When the movie wrapped, Fong was cheered off the soundstage by the entire crew as she took her first steps onto a brand-new stage.
