Video 任劍輝回復女兒身 (1952)

任劍輝在電影和粵劇裏大多反串男角，甚少扮演女性的角色。在蔣偉光《為情顛倒》一劇裏，她飾演南洋富家小姐任明輝，女扮男裝來香港以便打理家族生意。她暗戀公司的主管白英（張瑛），以「伍小姐」的假身份應徵他的徴婚啟示。這片段說白英帶「伍小姐」到前度女友陳萍仙（白雪仙）家裏，向她「示威」，誰知陳媽擅自訂期為女兒和任經理（即「伍小姐」的男身）舉行婚禮。三人頓感錯愕，各懷心事。


The actress Yam Kim-fai usually took on male roles in films and Cantonese opera performances. She rarely appeared as a female in films — here is an episode from "Lovesick" (dir. Chiang Wai-kwong).
