導演：程剛
Director: Cheng Kang
大導演程剛就地取材，以現實中明星賣淫新聞，搬上銀幕。警方搜得一本「應召名冊」，懷疑非法集團強逼女明星賣淫。女明星劉慧（劉雅英）本是妓女，被星探發掘做明星，成名之後，一躍成為專向外國遊客賣淫的高級妓女。萍姐（陳萍）乃電影明星，每次拍戲中途都會忽然牙痛失縱，其實，診所已被安排作賣淫的陽台。年青女星小曼（余莎莉）也在應召名冊上，後來她不甘受壓逼，走上自殺之途。應召名冊的賣淫女星，呼之欲出，圈內圈外，談論不休。
The seamy side of the Hong Kong film industry is laid bare in The Call-girls. Based on the infamous starlets-for-sex vice scandal that rocked the 1970's movie world, the drama has a startlingly gritty sense of reality in the casting of two of the era's more prominent erotic stars, Chen Ping and Shirley Yu. The scandal arouses the sense of justice of the young cop played by Danny Li (a.k.a. Li Hsiu-hsien), and the movie went on to become a top ten box office hit in 1977.

Lurid exploitation tale
|
"The Call-Girls", told in faux documentary style, purports to expose the ruthless exploitation of young actresses as prostitutes. It tells of a scheme by which attractive women are wooed into the movie business, then forced against their will to sell their bodies. The film suggest that its lurid story is based upon fact. A good film certainly could be built upon such a premise, but this isn't that film. Instead, "The Call-Girls" tells its tale of the sexual exploitation of young women by ... sexually exploiting young women. The various actresses in the movie doff their duds at the drop of a hat, then the camera lingers over the actresses' naked attributes in a manner calculated solely to titillate the viewer. More bizarrely, several of the scenes in which the actresses are forced to prostitute themselves are played for cheap laughs. "The Call-Girls" pretends to expose a shocking immorality, but instead chooses to wallow in the immorality it reveals. I might have liked the movie more if it was more honest about its intentions. |

Shocking expose on call girls in showbiz!
|
At the beginning of this movie, a girl goes around interviewing Shaw stars and directors on their views of prostitution among actresses. We get to see actress Chu Ching, actor Wang Yu, directors Chang Cheuh and Hua Shan among others giving their views. Finally director Cheng Kang is interviewed and the film begins. This lends an air of credibility to the film in its semi-documentary beginning. The actresses who double as prostitutes are given fictitious names to hide their identity except for actress Pak Siu Man, star of Sinful Confession. It is really pitiful to see the amount of stress and duress she was under as she tried to break free. Suicide was the only way out in the end. No particular actress shines in her respective role. In the end, it was very much an ensemble piece. This Celestial release is uncut. So expect lots of nudity. |
