Two City Girls stars two of the top Cantonese stars of their time, Ting Ying and Patricia Lam Fung. Two stars, two city girls, two different personalities. While Ting plays her usual good girl of tradition, it is Lam who stretches herself to play a vain, lazy housewife. The early 1960s was a transitional period for Hong Kong and the polar opposites represented by the title characters are the values waiting eagerly to be reconciled.
