The Greatest Lover

The Greatest Lover

1988 · 115 min · ★ 5.4 · Comedy

A delightful comedy about three illegal immigrants from China, one of whom (Chow) gets roped into a gentleman-training course - taught by Mui - in order to take revenge on some bitchy beauties who jilted a nasty fellow. Kinda like a gender-reversed My Fair Lady.

Directed by Clarence Ford · Written by Stephen Shiu Yeuk-Yuen
