Member Winfred Posted February 19, 2010 Member Share Posted February 19, 2010 Umetsugu Inoue, a director who had a big impact on Japanese and Hong Kong pop cinema starting in the 1950s, died Thursday of a cerebral hemorrhage in Tokyo. He was 86. Starting from 1967, he spent three months every year in Hong Kong, making musicals and other pics for the Shaw Brothers, including "Hong Kong Nocturne" (Xiang jiang yue ye, 1967) and "Hong Kong Rhapsody" (Hua yue liang xiao, 1968). During his six years with the Shaws he made 17 pics, most of which were money spinners. Inoue is survived by wife Yumeji Tsukioka, formerly a star in his pics, and a daughter. Here's the reunion of Cheng Pei-pei and Inoue at 2002 Tokyo Film Festival after a showing of HK Nocturne. They had not met for 38 years. Pei-pei's daughter is also in pic. Obit courtesy of Variety.
