A little bit Hollywood, a little bit Tokyo, the musical extravaganza Hong Kong Rhapsody is the follow-up to the previous year's megahit Hong Kong Nocturne. Both are directed by top Japanese director Inoue Umetsugu, with music supplied by legendary composer Ryuichi Hattori. The plot is typically lightweight, with Hong Kong's number one romantic lead, Peter Chen Ho, as an unemployed magician whose love life is so knotty it would take a Houdini to unravel. He chases a nightclub singer (played by movie queen Li Ching, whose singing voice is supplied by pop star Jing Ting) while fending off the advances of a bevy of sexy starlets. With beauties Angela Yu Chien and Alison Chang Yen providing eye candy, plus the kind of gaudy production numbers they just don't make anymore, Hong Kong Rhapsody is the last word in Swinging Sixties opulence at its campiest best.
