Synopsis

In 1937 Shanghai, a soon-to-depart soldier meets a young woman under a bridge during a Japanese air raid. They vow to meet after the war ends, but they don't each other's name or face. Ten years later, the young woman, a nightclub singer, takes in a naive girl fresh from the country. The country girl falls in love with the would-be song-writer upstairs who, unbeknownst to the singer, is none other than the soldier from the bridge.

Critics' reviews

"It’s impossible not to be carried along by the delirious rush of silliness in this knockabout screwball comedy from 1984 (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
