...windy hillside in Hong Kong. In its heyday Shaw Bros. churned out hundreds of films for Chinese-language audiences around the world, leading an industry that, by the mid-1980s, made a city of 6 million the world's third biggest movie producer. That's when Shaw began to phase out film production in favor of TV. Though other studios filled the gap for a while, Hong Kong, which had made 234 movies in 1993, produced only 64 last year.

But sometimes it is only after the passage of a generation or two, as a phase of history rolls on and its direction becomes clearer, that its point of origin emerges. 1948 was one of those years...
Allen has assembled an attractive cast and given most of them clichés to inhabit. He has also stinted on inventiveness. Allen, in his Purple Rose of Cairo phase, might have allowed Hobie to step into the other story and rescue the tragic Melinda. The film's serious half could have been more powerful, the comic half lots funnier...
