Please note that 'Tung Ming Shan' was an alias for famed director 'Sun Chung' (Avenging Eagle, Cohabitation) when he moonlighted for Indie projects concurrently while under resident contract with Shaw Brothers:

BTW, one of his titles directed as Tung: 'Money is Everything':

and should not be listed as a 'thriller' but a 'romantic comedy' with cheating aka 'Sting'-like themes ala 'King Gambler' or 'Tales of Larceny'. I only happen to know this because I was lucky enough to see this delightful title on the big screen during its original theatrical release. It's one of Nora Miao's most radiant and best films.

Added Alias, changed genre.

If no one objects, I'll merge them in 2 weeks.

Thanks,

Sun Chung's 'Alan Smithee'

Great thanks! BTW as a stage name, the meaning of 'Tung Ming Shan' wrecks of conjecture. To illustrate: 'Tung' (same) 'Ming' (name) & 'Shan' (Mountain), you get the picture.
