After portraying Josephine Siao Fong-fong as a thief in The Precious Mirror (1967), Chor Yuen turned to her fellow Jade Girl, Connie Chan Po-chu, the following year and put her through the hoops of pregnancy. Well, sort of...In The Pregnant Maiden, Chor has left all serious pretensions behind, frolicking with abandon in this screwball of a comedy. No more harsh social realities, no more anti-feudalism anger, no more artistic idealism, just simple fun.

A comedy sensation.
