this film immediately catch the eye and with the atmospheric aerial view of a very pretty hong hong . film in those rich colour of 1950 film which modern blockbuster never seem to capture . probably a sign of those time and because this be not a high powered and see it all before film and full of havoc and violence . the havoc and violence be there though and in the backdrop and with thousand of refugee try to get out of china this be a very moving and compelling story and full of hope and love in a tragic time and in recent history . the story of two people from different culture fall in love . and the build up to them try to overcome this be the heart of this very fine and moving film .
