Our Husband (1949): cast, story & where to watch
1949 · Film
Released in 1949, Our Husband is a notable film directed by Li Ping-Qian, running about 95 minutes.
What it’s about. Li's first directorial work in Hong Kong is adapted, by himself, from the Hollywood movie The Great Lie (1941) starring Bette Davis. When a husband disappears in an accident, the wife is dismayed by a social butterfly pregnant with her husband's child. To preserve the husband's blood line, the wife takes care of the expectant mother and raises the child. Featuring the two ravishing beauties Li Lihua and Sun Jinglu, Our Husband foregoes juicy feuds between the leads and delivers an allegorical message: parents should provide an ideal environment for the next generation. Addressing the rocky times in China, it is equally overt in its remonstration as Yung Hwa's earlier works, The Soul of China and Sorrows of the Forbidden City.
Who’s in it. Our Husband stars Li Li-Hua, Jinglu Sun, Andrew Yan Hua and Wei Wang, among others.
