1960s pop star Carrie Ku Mei plays pop star "Little Lark" - not only Carrie's most famous role, but a treasure trove of some of the most popular Mandarin songs of all time. The story, a frothy romance of mistaken identities, ultimately takes a back seat to the wonderful musical numbers, highlighted by "The Wedding Song" (performed by Mona Fong, future production head of Shaw Brothers) and "A Lover's Tears", perhaps the most romantic Mandarin song of its era.
