Acknowledged as one of the greatest Hong Kong musicals, this lavish Eastmancolor and Shawscope production set a standard in Hollywood-style tune-fests that has rarely been surpassed. It infuses its wispy plot with such style and wit that the results are pure pleasure. It won awards for Best Art Direction, Best Editing and Best Sound Recording while Linda Lin Dai won the Best Actress statuette for her performance as a dancer who finds romance with her boss's pesky son.
