Once Upon A Rainbow features a star-studded cast and crew, only that they made their names years after the release of this film. Today’s mega-star Andy Lau made his big screen debut in this title, so did the now internationally renowned director Wong Kar-wai who jointly penned its script with today’s award-winning art director Yee Chung-man. The eponymous theme song, composed by Violet Lam and written by her brother Andrew Lam, is the first movie theme song for singer Annabelle Louie. The film gives a glimpse of Hong Kong’s entertainment sector through two young girls’ pursuits of dream and love. Tin-wei (Jade Hsu) enrols in a TV station’s acting class, while her high school bestie Angie (Patricia Chong) works for a record label after leaving school. Tin-wei falls in love with her classmate Ka-ming (Wu Hsiao-kang), who has a crush on Angie instead…The only cinematic work by TV director Ng Siu-wan, the film’s cast and crew and its subject matter make it seems a prelude to Hong Kong’s popular culture heydays in the 1980s
