What it’s about. There's nothing like a good, opulent, gaudy musical to lift the spirits, but when it's a 1960's Hong Kong musical orchestrated by a Japanese director and composer, it breaks through the ranks as a classic of campy kitsch. A follow-up to the previous year's megahit Hong Kong Nocturne, with the same Japanese creative team, Hong Kong Rhapsody follows the fortunes of an unemployed magician whose love life is so knotty it would take Houdini to unravel!
Who’s in it. Hong Kong Rhapsody stars Ching Lee as Chang Hsiao Ping, Peter Chen Ho as Chen Tzu-Hsin, Alison Chang Yen as Lin Yu Lan and Chen Hung-Lieh as Li Jia Wen, among others.
