"What is a home without a mother" is the main theme of this film, which stars Lucilla You Min as the daughter of a widower who plans to remarry. Fearing that her two younger brothers would suffer under a step-mother, Lucilla is determined to "save" them.
Overview:
"International Screen", the official magazine of the Cathay Organization, has this to describe "Father Takes A Bride": "'What is a home without a mother' is perhaps the main theme of MP & GI's latest drama, 'Father Takes A Bride', which stars Lucilla You Min as the daughter of a widower who plans to remarry. Fearing that her two younger brothers would suffer under a step-mother, Lucilla is determined to 'save' them."
Most probably another star vehicle for Lucilla after her success in playing a young adult daughter in "Her Tender Heart" in 1959, "Father" reverses the plot of the former film by having Lucilla rebel against her father instead of the mother. Written by renowned novelist Eileen Chang, who contributes to the film a subtlety rarely found in the Hong Kong cinema, the film is also remarkable for its exquisite set designs and a memorable score by the Japanese composer R. Hitori.
