  2. White Powder (OUTV)

    SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS / Hong Kong / 1947 / 94 mins
    In the melodramatic WHITE POWDER AND NEON LIGHTS, young actors start a Cantonese opera and hire the famous Miss Ha. Complications arise as she is courted by a wealthy, unscrupulous businessman. Featuring numerous sequences of Cantonese opera, once a staple of the Chinatown cultural life, WHITE POWDER is a Chinese American take on the age-old theatrical chestnut of “putting on a show.”
