YesAsia Editorial Description
The first color film from Hong Kong's Cathay Studios, Air Hostess hearkens back to the glorious fifties, when the modern world and its burgeoning technology held great promise for everyone. Back then, the position of air hostess (AKA stewardess) held great prestige for the modern woman, and this beloved film portrays that time with tremendous romantic regard. Three women join the air hostess ranks for their own individual reasons. Lovely Ge Lan (AKA: Grace Chang) wishes to escape her privileged lifestyle, pal Su Feng wants to join up with her friend, and Julie Yeh seeks the glamour of a life of international travel. Together, the three friends struggle for their future in the skies. Gorgeous color photography accentuates the costumes and locations of the time, which include stops in Taipei, Singapre, and Bangkok. Also starring veteran actor Qiao Hong (Roy Chiao), Air Hostess evokes its unique era with loving grace, and is a fine way to get acquainted with the wonderful films of the Cathay Studios!

我要飛上青天
追逐我的夢想,我的愛情...
帶你一起踏上青春的逍遙旅路
遨遊於灑脫浪漫的音符之間
航空業空是五、六十年代的新興行業,而空中小姐則是當年香港女孩子最嚮往的職業,因為既時髦又高貴,既新奇又刺激。本片即以此為題材,描寫葛蘭、葉楓和蘇鳳三名少女考上了空姐,由此展開了她們的飛躍人生旅程。影片情節環繞著她們和機長雷震、喬宏等的工作和戀愛發生,劇情沒有太大的起伏,但卻以瑰麗悅目的彩色攝影(本片是「電懋」公司的第一部彩色製作)、大量的外景(遍及新加坡、曼谷和台灣),和連場歌舞取勝,對當年旅遊並不普及的大眾社會有著莫大的吸引力和新鮮感,可謂極視聽之娛,但即使今日看來,仍有效果,其中尤以前半段不厭其詳地介紹空中小姐的訓練過程最具細節趣味性。
Back in 1959, air hostess was considered one of the most glamorous and privileged occupations for young girls with a dream. This first colour production of MP & GI details the ins and outs of the profession and takes the three lead actresses, Ge Lan (Grace Chang) , Julia Ye Feng and Dolly Su Feng through a series of tough training. After their graduation, the film then brings them, and the audience, to exotic places like Bangkok, Singapore and Taiwan. The colourful photography, several musical numbers and the comedic tone of the film provide lots of viewing pleasures even forty years after the film had been made.

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. |

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 ?? |
