  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.

Glossy melodrama Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
"Spring-Time Affair" is a well-executed romantic melodrama that benefits from the irresistible star power of Zhang Yang and Annette Chang. Zhang Yang plays Zhu Zidan, a classical violinist upon whom fortune has smiled. Blessed with dashing good looks, Zidan has achieved great fame through his music and enjoyed three years of happy marriage to his attractive wife (Chan Ching). However, after a celebratory evening at a nightclub, Zidan neglects to 'take captive every thought' and instead permits himself to wallow in inappropriate imaginings concerning Yimei, the nightclub's sexy songstress (Annette Chang).

When his wife travels to Taiwan to spend a week with her parents, Zidan and Yimei seize the opportunity to indulge their yearnings. Rather shockingly, neither Zidan nor Yimei seems troubled by their betrayal of Zidan's marriage oath. When his wife returns, Zidan seeks to put his life back in order, but is torn by his lust for Yimei. Inevitably, Zidan's wife will learn of the affair and each of the members of this tawdry triangle will have to choose whether this marriage is worth saving.

The movie spends little time on the moral dimension of its tale; none of these characters seem given to deep thoughts about the obligations a husband owes his loving wife. Nonetheless, the film's brisk pacing keeps the viewer intrigued to the end. There is a powerful chemistry between handsome Zhang Yang and gorgeous Annette Chang and the film is loaded with an array of wonderful music that includes Western classical, sultry torch songs, and delightfully cheesy rock ditties, like the instrumental version of "These Boots Are Made For Walking" to which Zidan and Yimei somehow manage to slow-dance. Unfortunately, the folks at Panorama chose to release this movie in a crummy pan-and-scan version, but this glitzy melodrama succeeds despite this less than optimal presentation.

Modest love story marred by cropping Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
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 ????
