Sinopsis momentánea en inglés: SUN, MOON AND STAR is a compelling romantic drama filmed in color, in two parts, in 1961 by Cathay, a Hong Kong studio that thrived in the late 1950s and early '60s before losing market share to its well-financed rival, Shaw Bros. Cathay tended to focus on intimate dramas and comedies focusing on the ordinary workaday people of Hong Kong and China.
SUN, MOON AND STAR tells the story of a young man, Jianbai (Yang Zhang), from a well-off family in southern China and the three women he falls in love with in a period spanning the years of Japanese invasion, occupation and aftermath in the 1930s and '40s. The title refers to the symbols Jianbai applies to each of the three women. "Star" is his childhood sweetheart, A-Lan (Lucilla You Min), a country girl and orphan who lives with an abusive aunt and uncle who try to marry her off to an army officer. "Moon" is Qiuming (Grace Chang), a cousin of Jianbai's from a good family. She's a virtuoso piano player and singer and is the more cosmopolitan one, always well dressed, the perfect hostess, somewhat impetuous, but always nurturing and gracious. "Sun" is Su Yanan (Julie Yeh Feng), a student activist who later becomes a soldier in the Nationalist army and fights the Japanese in combat. She's a woman of action and devotes herself to larger causes than personal happiness. Jianbai's indecisiveness regarding the women (each of whom gets a marriage proposal from him at different points in the story) causes problems for everybody in the course of the decade-plus span of the film.
Based on a popular, serialized novel by Xu Su, the film was released in two parts, totaling three-and-a-half hours. Part 1 ends rather abruptly as Jianbai and Su Yanan flee with the other university students to the countryside as the Japanese invade. Part 2 should be seen right after Part 1 since it really is all one movie.
