My Darling (1950)

One of the very few Burma/Myanmar classics still in existence and is the country’s earliest surviving silent film in colour from 1950. Contemporary stars Phoe Par Gyi, Kyu Kyu, Pho Par Lay star in this romantic comedy, revolving around two friends who move to Yangon to look for work. They meet a beautiful young woman, Kyu Kyu, who lives with her aunt after her parents passed away. Though she is rich and owns her own company, Kyu Kyu is humble and attracts the attention of several suitors, including a police officer, an air force captain, and a writer. Starring many of the major Burmese actors of the time, the film is a precious document of the prolific and vibrant movie industry in Myanmar then.
