Street Angel ( 马路天使; Mǎlù tiānshǐ) is a Chinese film released in 1937. The film was directed by Yuan Muzhi and stars the popular singer Zhou Xuan. This dark comedy—a still hilarious and irresistible love story—may not seem like a milestone, but “Street Angel” (《马路天使》 Mǎlù Tiānshǐ) was the first Chinese movie not about high society. For the first time, it gave voice to Shanghai’s laboring classes. It was produced in 1937, and tells the story of a pair of sisters, Little Yun and Little Hong, refugees from the Japanese invasion of Northern China, who’ve migrated to Shanghai to start life anew. The city doesn’t greet them well. To pay the rent, the older sister is forced into a life of prostitution. The younger sister, being groomed for the streets, reluctantly sings in a low-brow teahouse to the snickers of drunken, lecherous customers. We know—it doesn’t sound like much of a comedy. Through indomitable optimism and can-do spirit, they befriend a motley crew of misfits and social dregs—Little Chen the trumpeter, Old Wang the newspaper hawker, a street peddler, a barber and a dwarf—and strive together to fight for a better tomorrow. ?Shanghai, the city, swings along to the beat…

The father eventually brings the greatest surprise to the audience at the end of the story.本片讲述了圆山饭店的大厨，每个星期弄了一大桌菜让三个女儿杨贵媚、吴倩莲和王渝文回家来吃饭，但总是不欢而散，反而他为年轻寡妇张艾嘉的小女儿做几个便当菜，却让小朋友们吃得津津有味。三个女儿各有爱情上的烦恼，没有人关心老爸，令他连味觉也逐渐失去了。女儿们本以为从美国回来的归亚蕾很适合跟老爸凑一对，不料他的再婚物件大爆冷门。本片的剧情安排无疑是相当刻意，用隆重的吃饭仪式来架构全片虽符合主角身份，却表现得不够生动自然。不过导演还是将这个伦理喜剧拍得流畅热闹，风格上依旧兼顾中国文化与国际口味，是典型雅俗共赏路线下的作品，那些令人垂涎的菜式展示更成为本片最大特色。 In 1995, Hsu invited Lee to return to Taiwan to make Eat Drink Man Woman, a film that depicts traditional values, modern relationships, and family conflicts in Taipei.
