1966 | Colour | DCP | Cantonese | 115min

This is the only film in which the iconic 'Jade Girls' Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-fong star together in a contemporary setting. Add to that beautiful teenagers in gorgeous trendy fashion, bouncing in jubilant song-and-dance, frolicking at a swimsuit party and romping around in eye-catching scooters...Nothing short of a celebration of colourful, glorious youth! Four of the hugely popular septet The Seven Princesses (Nancy Sit and Wong Oi-ming, in addition to Siao and Chan) are featured, complemented by a scene-stealing Woo Fung. Youths of the 1960s were completely bedazzled. But 1960s Cantonese films are seldom without morals. The lovely lasses, while enjoying innocent fun and carefree rites of passage, are put through setbacks by unsavoury characters.
