Film Name: 一屋两妻 / Happy Bigamist / The Happy Bigamist / 一屋兩妻
Honestly, I can’t believe such an impressive lineup of screenwriters could produce such a mediocre show. Maybe it’s because I watched the 85-minute version. Chen You’s character is utterly unlikable—sleazy, insecure, and vulgar. Jealousy is human nature, but throwing a tantrum over it just makes you look pathetic. Some of the dialogue is actually quite good, but whether it’s the actors or the filming style, it all feels superficial. Divorced couples really shouldn’t meet up—it usually ends up hurting someone else. I only watched this for Anita Mui. Sigh, another role where she had to sacrifice herself! Since her next film, One Husband Too Many, was just a cameo, I skipped it. Nowadays, with all the films and TV shows raising viewers’ standards and tastes, this one doesn’t hold much appeal anymore. But the fact that it made the top ten at the box office back then is truly unbelievable! Only a handful of works will endure the test of time and be remembered forever. Among the top ten box office hits back then, several are worth revisiting repeatedly. Those interested can look them up.
