Run Lover Run

Brigitte Lin stars as a young girl on the cusp of becoming a woman...a problem for her mother, who thinks it's about time that her daughter got hitched! The dilemma: Brigitte is a tomboy, and more likely to wallop a suitor than wink at him. Luckily, the neighbor's son Alan Tang is returning from obtaining his nuclear physics degree, and seems to be the perfect catch. Mom sets her trap, and Brigitte and Alan are roped in, much to their dismay! Ever the canny young girl, Brigitte does her best to pawn Alan off on her brother's girlfriend...but her heart tells her ever so slightly that she might have made a mistake! Can she win Alan back?

Directed by Chen Yao-chi, Run Lover Run leans on a strong ensemble — Alan Tang Kwong-Wing, Brigitte Lin, Liu Shang-Chien — 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 1975.
