I'd love to fly with Grace!

"Air Hostess" is a relic; it's a bit stodgy, but it still entertains. Grace Chang stars as a young woman whose mother is eager to marry her off to an eager young suitor, but Ge Lan has other ideas. She dreams of seeing the world as an airline stewardess. We follow her as she endures the selection process (filling out an application, taking a written test, taking a physical test, being interviewed), then we see her go through the training needed to grasp the job she covets. Finally (and I do mean 'finally' -- all of those preliminaries take will over half an hour and don't exactly keep you on the edge of your seat), the big day arrives and Ge Lan takes to the skies. At this point, the film becomes quite colorful and engaging. Ge Lan's travels take us to Singapore, Bangkok, and Taipei and, through her eyes, we are able to enjoy some beautiful, long-lost scenery. She endures some backbiting by a rival stewardess (Julie Yeh) who envies Ge Lan's popularity. And she starts a budding romance with a hunky pilot (Roy Chiao), who baffles Ge Lan with his occasionally harsh behavior toward her. Through it all, Ge Lan grows from a girl with a dream into a woman with a profession. Grace Chang, as usual, casts her irresistible charm over the viewer; she looks lovely and sings four delightfully catchy tunes. Julie Yeh is simply drop-dead gorgeous here and dies a nice job with her catty character. Stick with "Air Hostess" through those slowly paced opening scenes and enjoy these very friendly skies. (Keep your eyes peeled for a cute cameo by Lin Cui.) |

Good old tourist attractions
|
I bought this movie because it featured some of the tourist attractions in Singapore, Hongkong, Taipei and Bangkok that had long disappeared. Grace Chang, of course, was an all-rounder which made this movie so interesting to watch. And Yeh Feng, she's so tall and slim and pretty and ... everything! Collector's item, if you ask me. |

Song HITS galore in DELIGHTFUL ,DELECTABLE, DELICI

How many Chinese movies have you seen that explore the new found professional career world of women in post-war Hongkong ? "Air Hostess" was one of the most innovative film that came out of post war HK, not only did it use color and multi-foreign locations as background, it also dwelve into the lifestyle changing world of well educated women who dare to challenge the traditional role of women in Chinese society. Ge Lan, the pride and treasure of Cathay studio had delivered another enjoyable performance to her fans after the big box office hit of "Mambo Girl", this time you can see her song and dance numbers in FULL COLOR, paving her way to another more fully realized work in the later "WILD WILD ROSE". Fans of Ge Lan should be grateful to Panorama for releasing all these gems from the Cathay vaults, now we are ready for more !!!!! How about "June Bride" soon ?? |
