Review of Shanghai Blues (1984) by Alex S — 10 Jun 2013
Tsui Hark's perfectly scaled neo-screwball romance that remembers the spirit of screwball lies more in the celebration of the optimistic, hardscrabble hope in people (with post-war China filling in for depression-era America) than any particular plot shenanigans.
And the theme song will be stuck in your head forever.
