Join endless love with a Lin Dai matinee

Movie fans of legendary film star Lin Dai can now relive 14 of her classic films as the Hong Kong Film Archive will display the movies to commemorate the 90th anniversary of her birth.

The HKFA of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department will present Love Without End: The Screen Diva Lin Dai in its screening series Morning Matinee from December 20 to March 7 next year, featuring 14 films starring Lin and four documentaries about her.

Lin was immensely popular in the 1950s and 1960s and was awarded Best Actress four times at the Asian Film Festival although her film career lasted for only about a decade, the department said.

"This screening program comprises four sections - Maiden Love, City Girl, Fatal Beauty and Glory of Life, offering an overview of Lin's superb acting in films of different genres," it said.

The department said people can purchase movie tickets, at HK$35 each, via the URBTIX or telephone from November 23.
