But the middle part of her career has some major dogs, including the likes of "My American Grandson", even though she had a lot of good actresses and actors starring in those films!<br /><br />In any event, I hope you'll like "Boat PeopleYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-81000704459061766982015-08-23T21:26:37.850+08:002015-08-23T21:26:37.850+08:00Thanks, will try to catch that showing.

Ann Hui films are "hit or miss" with me -- but this one definitely hit! :)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-54508156776406057722015-08-22T12:32:55.999+08:002015-08-22T12:32:55.999+08:00I am sorry I missed seeing this on the big screen....I am sorry I missed seeing this on the big screen.
