春 (1953)

Hong Kong / 22 dic 1953 / Actor Cheung Wood-yau, '[In the book,] it is evident that the character of Ko Kok-man uses words to persuade others, to attack reality, and to determine logic. This may not be suitable to the film medium because of its emphasis on visual images... Director Lee Sun-fung went to great lengths to help his actors understand their characters and managed to do half the work with double results.' ("The New Evening Post", 1953/12/28) The second episode of the 'Torrent trilogy', the first episode "Family" and the third episode "Autumn". Film debuts of actresses Ng Nga-yee, Fung Yik-mei, and child actors Siu Man-ching and Yuen Siu-hoi. The Mandarin version was released in 1957. Based on Ba Jin's novel of the same title.
