香港遊車河 Hong Kong scenery (1952)

Images of Western District, Peak Tram, Happy Valley, Aberdeen, Victoria Harbour and Amah Rock in "Twelve Singing Beauties" (1952).

遊車河的路線: 半山, 上環, 中環, 乘山頂覧車, 跑馬地看賽馬, 香港仔吃海鮮, 乘渡海小輪遠眺新界望夫山。一覽當年香港的著名景色。

就快就快就快就快車到半山
就快就快就快就快車落上環
你望吓望呢間告羅士打
如欲吃餐呢間最猛

點解車能戙企
竟然又能扒山
係靠兠鋼纜 用電至曉行
坐吓確夠歎 唔在慌躀
我人又胆細 慌親實躀
我肥大腫脹 惊親梗躀

你地望唔望見跑馬地
碰啱跑馬日期擠到冇路行
想食海鮮最好去香港仔
蝦頂靚 魚又靚
醉一杯確係夠歎

新界有個望夫山
佢企享處
背脊重有個仔
盼夫未見還
佢一味喊 長嗟短嘆
後來變石企享山
面朝洋海 永遠見淚眼

Great clip many thanks Michelle. 俞明 (1924-?) did not even get a chance to speak in this clip! He was in over 300 films and contributed significantly to the films of the olden days. Yet as far as know, he never had any recognition from the TV/Film industry. I have to crown him 甘草綠葉之王 and wish him well.

Thanks for your comment. In the clip, Yu Ming somewhat looks like an outsider, but his body language (he keeps playing with his fingers, if you notice) and facial expression reveal that he is totally uninterested in joining the conversation. Though he only played minor roles in movies for his whole career, he certainly deserves our respect.

The singing quality is due to the unsophisticated equipment used in those days and the deteriorated film quality after all the years. Some of the old Hollywood films have the same problem.

The singing is typical Cantonese style before the 70's. This has dropped out of favor since due to the foreign influences in music style in HK.

Considering it probably took a crew of 5 to 10 (including sound, light and filming), that's pretty admirable.
