Mary, I Love You

Lui Kay join hands with Connie Chan Po-chu to portray couples in numerous films, through which he must have developed his own way to stage the romance with her in the most touching manner. In 1969, he made his directorial debut Mary, I Love You with her, of which he was also the screenwriter, presenter, and, of course, the lead actor. Lui plays a young man who is determined to marry his girlfriend even if that means he has to break away from his family. Chan brings the title character Mary to live, a girl who is loyal to her loved ones, perseverant in face of tough situations, and charming in her Peranakan costume. Apart from the romance between the two, the film also depicts the unfailing friendship between Mary and her classmates. Like all teen movies in that era, the film contains quite a few singing and dancing scenes, but in a South Asian setting. The theme song features two versions: one male version by Lui and one female version by Chan, which was a very clever arrangement in those days.
