On June 2, 1953, Hong Kong held various events to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. This film makes use of a sizeable amount of documentary footages of the celebration (parades and light decorations in particular) to create a fictional story. A collaboration of Ng Wui, Cheng Kang, and Chu Kea, the film was completed slightly one month after the event, demonstrating the high efficiency of Cantonese filmmaking, as well as its close engagement with Hong Kong society and the intimate interaction with the filmgoers at that time. Centering on an unhappy jewelry shop employer Cheung Lap-man (Cheung Ying), it accounts how he steals the company’s jewelry during the coronation holidays and plans to escape with his wife and daughter, and how his alert wife (Tsi Lo Lin) halts his plan in time. The public celebration in the film is in stark contrast with Cheung’s personal discontent. Cheung’s stealing and eventually returning the jewelry are full of Hitchcockian suspense (the team later adapted Hitchcock’s Rear Window in 1955), while the role of Cheung’s sister, played by Mui Yee, adds black humor to the story.
