The Beauty and the Dumb Synopsis
Anatole France's The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife has been adapted into three different Hong Kong films in the 1950s alone. These two adaptations stray from the source material considerably in genre, characterisation and plot, turning a farce about married life into localised romantic comedies that emphasise family values. The Beauty and the Dumb follows the couple from their meet-cute to the misunderstandings they encounter before the inevitable happy ending. The heir of a bank (Huang He) falls in love at first sight with one of the employees' daughter (Li Lihua), but their burgeoning relationship is nearly derailed when the girl's father intervenes to help his dumb daughter land a rich husband.
The Beauty and the Dumb (1954) is a romance and comedy film directed by Tang Huang, released on December 18, 1954 with a runtime of 1h 33m. It stars Li Li-Hua, Huang He, Wang Yuen-lung and Liu En-Jia.
