劉別謙初嚐美高梅大製作的派頭，一切筆法更神采飛揚。開敞的場景、空前的排場讓人物裏裏外外恣意張開：寡婦的心更顯孤獨，男女的愛更加沒處安放。坐擁小國大部分財富的寡婦忽然要搬到巴黎重新尋找生活色彩，國王唯恐國祚不保來一招美男計，派出風流種子色誘寡婦。本來一個用情一個求性，幾番邂逅與折騰，改寫了男男女女的基本需要。歌與舞沒有賣弄甜膩，反而放在愛情的沉重中換來了歌頌。歌與影無間交流，劉別謙輕歌劇巔峰之作，亦成了荷里活極有代表性的一章。司花利亞與珍娜．麥當奴最後一次合作，後者散發從未有過的成熟韻味。堪稱最性感的音樂劇。　　Rated "the sexiest musical in the thirties", The Merry Widow could well be the sexiest musical ever. Jeannette MacDonald, sensual and majestic as a Persian cat, is the wealthiest widow in the kingdom of Marschovia. On a visit to Paris, she attracts a flurry of gold-diggers. To prevent her fortune from passing to foreign hands, the king sends a romantic envoy to court her. He chooses Captain Donilo, whose cavalier attitude to women is not limited to his rapport with Maxim's "girls, girls, girls". Osé but not blasé, this elegant adaptation of Franz Lehar's operetta out-classed von Stroheim's silent in opulence, culminating in the grandest of grand balls.　　Source: 28th HKIFF…

　　钟少雄导演的此片意在强调香港电影事业的衰败惨景，并不恐怖，但其在有限的条件下，拍出这部困兽式悲情片，表现了电影人如入地狱的噩梦处境。然而该片过火失控，比起前些年的《阴阳路》用鬼戏院讽刺电影业困境的黑色幽默感，有不及之感。剧情讲述了即将来临的一九九九年最后一夜，北角英皇道一间旧戏院面临封铺关门，由雷宇扬饰演的放映员正放映最后一场电影，观众只有其女友姚乐怡一人，却不料发生了闹鬼事件。此片场面凄厉，其肮脏一面简直惨不忍睹。诸多香港影星包括黎耀祥、吴镇宇、李惠敏、孙佳君、吴志雄和钱嘉乐在内都切身感受了场面。最后闹剧在雷宇扬对姚乐怡的求爱中才得以平息，这也应了魔鬼来人间是考验人们能否 "患难见真情"的作怪目的。但这种考验却太过火，太残忍了。…
