Product Information
導演：易文
Director: Yi Wen
一曲傾情，曲終情未斷！
弦斷再續，難續未了情！
音樂家與紅歌星的邂逅；
是逢場作戲，抑或一生最愛？！
一男二女的三角戀愛是電影常見的題材，但總能觸動人心，這是因為人類往往不能完全替自己的感情作主。
《月夜琴挑》描述年青有為的小提琴家（張揚）被夜總會紅歌星（張慧嫻）深深吸引，趁著妻子（陳青）外遊，迅即與她墮入愛河。原本以為是只是一次逢場作戲，但是時限已過，卻始終無法自拔……導演易文曾以撰寫言情小說和情書結集知名，故電影作品大部分都是愛情文藝片，甚至往往帶有或濃或淡的自傳色彩。本片即為一例，較諸之前的《情深似海》、《教我如何不想她》不遑多讓。著名音樂家姚敏撰寫的四首插曲悅耳動聽，保持著「電懋」╱「國泰」都會文藝片的一貫高水準。
Springtime Affairs is an atypical melodrama of Cathay Organisation although it was shot when James Bond-type thrillers were enjoying sweeping box office successes in 1967, a time when Hong Kong was under the threat of social unrest. A veteran in melodramas, director Yi Wen touches the hearts of the audience with this story of an illicit affair between a young, talented and successful violinist and a popular singer. Yi was a writer in Shanghai (renowned for several romantic novels and a collection of love letters) before he entered the film industry. Several of his more "personal" films, like Forever Yours (1960), Because of Her (1963) as well as this, were reportedly based on his own extramarital affairs with his stars and collaborators.

Modest love story marred by cropping
|
Springtime Affairs was a modest love triangle story done many times before (such as Cathay's "Wild Wild Rose" and "An Affair to Remember", both also starring Chang Yang), this was made interesting by the use of western classical music and young star Chang Wei Hsian, now shedding her ingenue image to play a slightly world weary night club singer, is she the home wrecker gossipers made her out to be ? Will Chang Yang, a classical violinist leave his wife and marry a night club singer ? Will somebody die in order to resolve the characters' predicament ? Predictable questions lead to --suprise, suprise !!!NOT predictable answers , this was where the unique twist come into play---buy the disc and find out for yourself ! I have to point out that Panorama did a grave injustice to this film and all buyers of this disc by presenting this in a badly scanned and cropped (both sides of the widescreen format)aspect ration, why can't they just leave the widescreen alone so will can see the WHOLE picture ??? If future releases of Cathay films made in widescreen format be released in this contemptible panned and scanned format I will NOT buy any of them !!!! Are the manufacturers of these DVD/vcds this ignorant about the proper aspect ratio ? Do we have to suffer and be contend with a truncated view of movies we loved ???? |
