It is now Seaview but New Straits View Hotel today; yesterday was called Straits View Hotel where Mechinta Kelab Malam could be found. After the demise of that kelab malam, there was in the mid-1980s a popular seafood restaurant which has a balcony view of the private carpark.peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-65688849953764571812009-11-08T20:30:59.201+08:002009-11-08T20:30:59.201+08:00The movie stars of yester-years, few of them, led ...The movie stars of yester-years, few of them, led fast and shady lives. These type of news revealing the stars personal lives could only appear in tabloids(with the actors appearing under ficticious names and wrapped up in innuendoes), whilst official movie magazines would only sing high praises of them. There was a very famous hollywood story that in the thirties, there was this famous mustachio actor who was being spinned as the most romantic actor alive, after acting in an epic film which featured the great american civil war. His wife later revealed to reporters that in real life all these so-called romantic stuff of the actor was in fact made up by the film industry, and who knew better than she herself?Zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489706873295639555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-83990279062617901582009-11-08T19:22:01.712+08:002009-11-08T19:22:01.712+08:00Peter,

So scenes of a couple going into a bedroom and emerging just <1sec many movie-goers so confused. <br /><br />This censorship also extended to music so music like Je-taime was also censore (one segment of the music had this heavy breathing sound of a woman in pleasure mode).<br /><br />The other thing I reembered about Lin Da the actress was she acted in a movie "Love Without End" (????) which had this signature theme played on a piano. You start many octaves on the right then then move to the left of the keyboard. I think the idea came from Tschaikosky in one of his Concertos. The Japanese lover sng "Masda" also has some similar interpretations. Jimmy Chan has this song in one of his CDs.peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-47407808447549810402009-11-08T05:47:53.915+08:002009-11-08T05:47:53.915+08:00I didn't know much about Grace Chang or "...I didn't know much about Grace Chang or "Mambo Girl". I only know there were many pretty Hong Kong actresses m my aunty's magazines. My aunty bought every month those Chinese movie news magazines and for me, I only glance through on the look-out for pretty girls. That's how I knew there were stars like Peter Cheng Ho and Lin Da (who had a big funeral when she died). I don't know the name of that Chinese magazine but I know you had to read from back to front pages.<br /><br />When I lived and worked in HOng Kong, used to tune into TVB channel after midnight for the black & white movies. They usually screen those oldie 1950s Cantonese or Mandarin movies. Then I saw this segment of a movie where the camera zoomed in on the buttocks of an actress whom I later found out to be Grace Chang (or was it Yuemin...I am confused on this one). The 1950 movies had plenty of rhumba or cha-cha-cha set dances.<br /><br />I like those 1950s movies because they had stories of pretty air hostesses (camera usually focus on buttocks or faces, don't know why) and scenes/landmarks of Singapore and Malaya (usually Malacca or Penang)then. <br /><br />As usual after watching the movies and dozing-off (movies ran from 2am till 6am), I became sleep at the office.<br /><br />Censorship in Singapore at that time was very strict.

I was a fan of grace chang and was quite impressed by her dancing skill and she acted well in 'wild wild rose'.
