Chinese Featured Films

In the past, our old Chinese featured films were broadcasted by ATV or HKTVB after mid-night. People often said that they were old torn Cantonese films (粵語殘片) .I suppose the watchers at that time were those old people who slept late or those who could not sleep at night.

Now that ATV broadcasts one Chinese featured film at about six each Sunday morning, it is a nice thing for older people who wake up early to watch such films. Not only these films can bring them memories of their old days, they also arouse the interest of the watchers to predict how the story will go on and what the actors and actress will say next. The watchers will feel very proud of themselves when the story goes on in the same way as they are thinking. You know, they have put themselves into the film already.

The famous actors and actress in the film (shown in the photo) are from left to right, Leung Shing Por (梁醒波), Yam Kim Fai (任劍輝) and Law Kim Long (羅劍郎).

It is unfortunate that Law Yim Hing (羅艷卿) did not act in the film.

我讀小學時成日都睇粵語長片,其實係日日睇!

o個時個播映時間大約係晏晝一點幾,剛好係放學後返到屋企食晏,片有幾長我餐飯就有幾長!哈哈哈!

幅相好似仲有紫羅蓮同周吉,不過唔知有無睇錯~

Auntie Chung has the same feeling as yours. She said that she watched these Chinese-featured films while she was eating her lunch after school at one something until three o'clock. Then she took an afternoon sleep and woke up to watch the second one which started at six in the evening!

So you and Auntie were hot fans of these Cantonese-speaking films (粵語長片)in the old days.
