Death Traps (1960) Director: Wang Tianlin Cast: Helen Li Mei, Roy Chiao Synopsis Master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock had many disciples in Hong Kong whom he was not aware of.

Helen Li Mei plays the role of an alcoholic who, in a state of drunkeness, mistakenly hires a mafia boss to kill herself.

But both were superstars in Hong Kong for decades prior, so any teaming of the superlative "swordswoman supreme" and the vaunted director/writer/actor is cause for celebration. Kao Yuen joins them as a noble swordsman, and watch, too, for award-winning actor Ku Feng as the "Frontier Terror" in the evocative and effective "Martial Art World" adventure.

Legendary Weapons Of China (1982) Director: Liu Chia-liang (aka Lau Kar-leung) Cast: Alexander Fu Sheng, Liu Chia-liang (aka Lau Kar-leung), Gordon Liu Chia-hui, Liu Chia-yung (aka Lau Kar-wing), Hui Ying-hung Genre: Martial Arts Synopsis This production is clearly the culmination of the visionary director's work, which used the theme of trying to defeat the gun years before Once Upon A Time In China. The innovative, ingenious film also features rarely seen Chinese magician-spies (who would inspire the Japanese ninja). But most importantly, it is a beautifully realized action comedy – showcasing international fan favorites Alexander Fu Sheng and Gordon Liu – which the groundbreaking book on the genre, Martial Arts Movies, called "the quintessential martial arts movie" and perhaps the greatest kung-fu movie ever made.

For Better, For Worse (1959) Director: Yue Feng Cast: Helen Li Mei, Zhang Yang Synopsis As a realist story of the grassroots in town contrasting urban comedies that MP&GI excels in, For Better For Worse demonstrates the high level of esteem and respect that MP&GI directors and playwrights enjoy. Director and screenwriter Yue Feng proves his mastery of the family theme through his vivid and sensitive portrait of the unemployed husband (Zhang Yang) and his souring relationship with his wife and children. Helen Li Mei sets aside her previous roles of an independent working lady to successfully transform into a wife and mother who would do anything she can for the family. Long before her dominance in the Cantonese cinema, teenager Chan Pao-chu impresses her fans not only with her role as a loving daughter but also her fluent Mandarin.

Devotion (1960) Director: Tang Huang Cast: Kitty Ting Hao, Zhang Yang Synopsis One of MP & GI's major attractions for 1960, Devotion, should be grim enough a lesson for any teenager in love. Little Kitty Ting Hao suffers due to social evils that ruthlessly rob her of the inalienable right to marry Chang Yang, the man she loves. Her incidental misbehaviour with Chang, which leads to the birth of a fatherless baby, does the final nailing of her coffin. Fortunately their daughter (also starred by Kitty Ting Hao) is intelligent and strong enough to be the master of circumstances and fights for her own love. Kitty Ting Hao portrays the mother and the daughter equally well, while Ouyang Sha-fei wins the Golden Harvest Award for the best supporting actress at the 7th Asian Film Festival.
