A veteran in melodramas, director Yi Wen touches the hearts of the audience with this story of an illicit affair between a young, talented and successful violinist and a popular singer.
Overview:
Springtime Affairs is an atypical melodrama of Cathay Organisation although it was shot when James Bond-type thrillers were enjoying sweeping box office successes in 1967, a time when Hong Kong was under the threat of social unrest. A veteran in melodramas, director Yi Wen touches the hearts of the audience with this story of an illicit affair between a young, talented and successful violinist and a popular singer. Yi was a writer in Shanghai (renowned for several romantic novels and a collection of love letters) before he entered the film industry. Several of his more "personal" films, like Forever Yours (1960), Because of Her (1963) as well as this, were reportedly based on his own extramarital affairs with his stars and collaborators.
