Viewing Notes
This was an odd find for Netflix bc it’s Shaw Production RomCom starring 3 women usually found in Golden Harvest at the time. I didn’t even know that Cherie Chung and Maggie Cheung were in this movie but they really light up the screen and make this screwball comedy worth viewing. Then Rosamund Kwan shows up in a villainess role that throws the whole thing into a spiral. Very entertaining and silly. The transfer looked excellent, too.
