About The House of 72 Tenants
Set during a period of depression, the film chronicles the daily lives of a single urban building split up into several separate units, and the actual people that dwell within.
Directed by Chor Yuen, The House of 72 Tenants leans on a strong ensemble — Elliot Ngok Wah, Tin Ching, Ching Li — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1973.
