Fatherless Son, The (1956)
遺腹子

Should we split this movie in two parts and change its title?

Your post has raised several interesting points.

Point 1) Change of title. I only found a site which confirms our title,
http://www.movieworld.com.hk/cgi-bin/mo ... e&C=M65791
but this does not count... and other site which confirmed yours,
http://www.google.com.hk/search?q=cache ... m&hl=zh-TW

For the moment, you win. But...

Point 2) Split. This will be a little complicated. According to Chinchanchung's HKFA Book, the 2nd Part was titled "The Posthumous Son, Part 2".
"Posthumous Child"? "Fatherless Son"? "Posthumous Son"? Which is the good one? I will need more time to think about it...

Point 3) your scan also says that Ng Daan (吳丹) is actually Ng Tin Chi (吳天池). In our Database, they are two different people. I tried to confirm your source in the mentioned book, and at first Ng Daan is listed as pen name of Ng Tin Chi (OK), but when in 1960, when Ng Daan became film director, they did not notify their pen name... Why I won't touch this mess...

Added story, editor, composer, photo. and several actors more including Raymond To, of course.

I think we have to check if the second part is on the db yet, maybe under a third different title. If not, we could split the movie, update the chinese title and add the two new english titles as aliases. It's not a problem if we leave The Fatherless Son as the main title.

OK. Checked: there is not 2nd part in the Db.

So, created 2nd part, added cast and crew and the 2 alternatives titles.

You and Mr.Chinchanchung are the only people in the world who can do it so fast.
You began to posting in August, like me, and I remember one day you posted 30 in one afternoon.
I want to express my gratitude to you and Mr.Chinchanchung for your interest in create the most complete HK film database possible.
You and him are almost perfect for this database:
he put Golden Harvest film and associated production companies from the 70s to 90s and you older films and Shaw Bros. pearls and rare productions ...
I would wish to have two hands more to adding all your info faster than now, but I have not them...
Please, forgive me if you see that I take a little long time to attend your suggestions...
but continue posting!
