The new review is Black Rose, the story of a pair of sisters who are Hong Kong thieves and are modern day Robin Hoods (modern day in that it is 1965) and get involved in insurance scams, insurance investigators, drug dealers, and cop stings. All that, and the film helps popularize a whole genre of Hong Kong cinema that influences films even today. And it has Connie Chan and a billion links to other articles and references and stuff. Scores of pictures and a clip at the link. Read it today!

BTW, Spy with My Face does indeed survive in an original color print at the HKFA. I’m guessing that the source for the VCD was a B&W dub made for television.
