Lucilla YuMing: Simple Yet Attractive

I spent the afternoon watching an old classic Lucilla YuMing movie called' "Father Takes a Bride". This late 1950 movie is in black and white. Yu Ming is better known as the 'Audrey Hepburn' of Hongkong.

 

The plot is simple. After the death of their mother,YuMing and her two bothers would not entertain the idea of their father re-marrying. However, their father had fallen in love with a school teacher. The lady in question was a younger Wang Lai. This is the first time I have seen her at this tender age possibly in her thirties.

As things would have it, something happened. The two children who went to their mother's grave were stuck in a cemetery as they were locked in. A police search was underway and radio broadcast managed to help trace the children. It was teacher Li played by Wang Lai who found the children. That  endeared the children to her and as they were leaving the hospital in smiles, we knew 'Father Will take a Bride'!

The movie also starred the late Betty Lo Tih's brother who played YuMing's love interest.

I am looking forward to watch such YuMing films such as 'Sun,Moon and Star' and A Night in Hongkong'.
