Under the stylish direction of Japanese director Inoue Umetsugu, one of Shaw Brothers' most distinctive filmmakers, "Hong Kong Nocturne" has an Asian flair that is unique. Three sisters are played by three of Shaws' starlets: Chin Ping, Lily Ho, and, most significantly, Cheng Pei-pei in one of her few contemporary non-martial arts roles. Full use is made of her training in dance, giving Pei-pei the grace and elegance that won her a Best Supporting Actress award for "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon."
