Director's & Lead Actor's Biography
導演：王天林
Director: Wong Tian Lam
「緊張大師」希治閣（Alfred Hitchcock）享譽國際，佳作如林，五、六十年代有不少國、粵語片也受他薰陶，以緊張、懸疑的兇殺故事為題材，《危機重重》（又名《殺機重重》）正是其中之一。本片由王天林導演、文安編劇，講述女主角（李湄）因醉酒失言，造成買兇殺人的誤會，而被追殺的對象正是她自己。李湄在《危機重重》中把七分狐媚、三分自覺的女性形象發揮得淋漓盡緻，與「妖姬」白光可謂一脈相承，但終能自出機杼，別創一格，令人印象難忘。
Master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock had many disciples in Hong Kong whom he was not aware of. They had produced countless Mandarin and Cantonese thrillers during the 1950s and 1960s, including Death Traps directed by Wang Tianlin. Helen Li Mei plays the role of an alcoholic who, in a state of drunkenness, mistakenly hires a mafia boss to kill herself. Li has often been compared to singer/actress Bai Guang who is also renowned for her femme fatale image. Both actresses impress the audience with a combination of their stunning beauty and the subtle sexiness (if not foxiness) of their exceptional performance.

Suspense-filled thriller
|
The word "Hitchcockian" was coined to apply to movies like "Death Traps". The protagonist has a character flaw that, when indulged, enmeshes the protagonist in an intrigue in which her life is endangered. It is the classic Hitchcock plot. Here Li Mei does an effective job as the flawed central character. She definitely has a subtly sexy and charismatic star power. While the movie is uneven, it is an effective thriller and will keep you engrossed right to the end. Highly recommended by your humble servant. |

BRAVA again for LI MEI !!! Great "film noir" resur
|
Fans of classic Cathay films has good reason to rejoice this month, after an agonized wait of ONE full year, PANORAMA had resume releasing these classic CATHAY film jems (last year Li Mei's "Between Laughter and Tears" was released about October),--not only one but TWO Li Mei films, each showcasing this extraordinary actress' varied talents. In "Death Traps", she was the femme fatale being chased by hoods all over Macau, she layered this cliche woman-in-distress role with her usual distinction and come out like ....a "greater Lana Turner mixed with Ava Gardner" !!!! Had HK film noirs taken hold of the movie going public back then, Li Mei no doubt would have become the super seductress for young and old alike ! If you think Anita Mui was seductive (of course when she was still alive) Li mei would be 10 times as much--I can still feel the audience going wild when she made personal appearances on stage...it is time to re-visit this superwoman thru these re-issues of her neglected work: PANORAMA bring on "Its Always Spring", "Bedside Story" and yes--what about that color spectacle "Calendar Girls" and "Empress Dowager" !!!!! We are waiting anxiously ! |

Great to see the Cathay releases resume!
| There are some great movies in the MP&GI/Cathay library awaiting re-issue and re-discovery. Some resonable pains taken with quality control, and canny promotion, will help bring this series the success it deserves! |
