YesAsia Editorial Description

Julie Lan's memorable movie Mambo Girl brought the superstar her breakthrough in the film world! This masterpiece gave the talented lady the opportunity to shed off her ordinary image of earlier movies, showing her as an independent girl free of all worries and full of youthful energy and brought her fame and renown in the entire south-east Asian region! Some critics even go so far as to say that her popularity influenced the direction of major film productions for years after its release and was responsible for the rise of a new movie era.

Mambo Girl implies a maturing independent Hong Kong. As for the sole content of the movie, it is packed with musical scenes and bursts with teenage spirit that will cause viewers to watch this classic over and over!

        舞動妳的腳步;
      唱一闋『忘憂歌』,
      哼一段『今宵樂』…
我們都是愛跳Cha Cha的青春兒女﹗

  《曼波女郎》是葛蘭為『電懋』拍攝的第二部作品,也是她表演生涯中的大突破。在這之前她雖然已主演過十部電影,但只是一個稱職的新人演員而己;《曼》片卻付予了她一個無憂無慮、自由、充滿青春活力、熱情奔放的「書院女」簇新形象,旋即仿似石破天驚般,風靡了整個東南亞。甚至有論者認為「葛蘭竄紅改變了以後數年(香港)電影的製作方針,同時亦可以說是正式宣告一個新時代的來臨」(鄧小宇語)。影片以一段追尋生母的情節,暗喻香港的成長與獨立(脫離母體、結合西方文化),在接近半世紀後的今天看來,特別有意思。即就電影本身而言,賞心悅目的連場歌舞和那份青春氣息,也教人忍不住一看再看。
  Blending all the elements of the musical genre and the coming-of-age films, Mambo Girl tells the story of a young woman(Grace Chang/Ge Lan) in search of a lost identity, her long lost mother who abandoned her soon after her birth. Instead of a happy ending of familial reunion, the film rather unusually ends on the girl's acceptance of her foster parents as real parents, with the mother quietly retreating into the darkness of the night. This theme perhaps signifies that identification of the post-war younger generation with Hong Kong as their roots. There are eight musical numbers in the film and each is handled and executed with finesse and style. at the same time fully demonstrating the musical talents of Chang. A huge box-office hit at the time of its release, the film easily stands as one of Hong Kong cinema's all-time favourites.

FIRST ROCK n ROLL Chinese musical still ROCKS ! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Way back in the mid50s when Rock n Roll music first made a headway in Hollywood movies, "MAMBO GIRL" followed as the FIRST HK movie that uses R n R music
to compliment the movie. Ge Lan, who can sing all kinds
of popular songs (in Chinese & English)delivered a great performance in this landmark movie. It was no wonder the movie was a BIG hit even outside Hongkong.
The songs "I Love Cha Cha", "Mambo Girl" are still being sung today--aside from the nostalgic warmth one
gets from seeing this movie today, one can still marvel at the intricate footwork, the emotional depth
of the acting by Ge Lan, Ting Hao and Tang Ro Ching etc. All in all , "Mambo Girl" is as unforgetable as
you can get...Thanks for the memories, Ge Lan !!!!!
