Twin Sisters Of The South 1939

The earliest Cantonese film in the collection of the Hong Kong Film Archive is also the last film of actress Wu Tip-ying as well as the first release of her own production company. The star formed the company to make Twin Sisters Of The South as a farewell gesture before retiring to get married. She not only played the double role of the title but also produced the film as well as wrote the scenario for a stage production within the film, giving herself an opportunity to perform a Cantonese opera number.
