Between Tears And Smiles (Hong Kong Version)
In 1963, the world famous Shaw Brothers studio utilized nearly every director and performer under contract to bring the epic melodrama Between Tears and Smiles to the silver screen. Fan Chia Soo (played by Kwan Shan, star of The Blue and The Black 1 & 2 and Unfinished Melody) is a softhearted college student who finds himself in a curious romantic predicament ? he has to make a decision involving three lovely women, all vying for his attention in their own special way.
The first potential Mrs. Fan is the ridiculously spoiled daughter from a rich family (played by Li Li Hua, from The Goddess of Mercy and The Fate of Lee Khan). Chia Soo is more interested in the second girl, however, as his heart is captured by the siren song of Shen Feng Hsien (also played by Li Li Hua), a soft-spoken, poverty-stricken singer performing in a seedy nightclub. The third woman in this “love rectangle” is played by Ivy Ling Bor, a street performer acrobat who works with her father. Although Chia Soo has his heart set on Feng Hsien, it turns out that he’s got some stiff competition. Zeng Miu (from The Mermaid and Brotherhood) plays General Chang, who has his henchmen abduct they sexy singer for his own personal plaything.
With all these obstacles, will Chia Soo get the girl? And what happens when he gets help from an unexpected source? After the film’s release, star Li Li Hua took home Best Actress prize while Zeng Miu took home an award for Best Supporting Actor at the 3rd Golden Horse Awards. With cameo appearances by various Shaw stars and its timeless tale of tragic love, Between Tears and Smiles is one classic film sure to win fans, both young and old!.
