Film Censorship: "Her Fatal Ways III"

cc. Mr Galsworthy

Mr Ricketts.

I refer to your minute refPÃO(C) 192/65 of

30 June 1992.

LAST PAPER

You will be interested to know that James So

has already broadly discussed with Raymond Chow of

Golden Harvest the plans for "Her Fatal Ways IV".

Golden Harvest has provided the financing for this

series to date. Mr. Chow recognised that the intended

theme of the fourth film in this series is somewhat

extreme and that even Part III went rather too far.

He intends to suggest to the director and script-writer

that they tone down their satire somewhat.

In fact, market forces will probably prove

most potent of all. As is often the case with series

of films on similar themes the audience has become

rather tired of them. "Her Fatal Ways III" was not а

box office success and there is a general feeling that

this film's rather exaggerated characterisations are no longer popular. In

In the circumstances, Mr. Chow is

likely to consider carefully the value of further

finance for more such films.
