Low budget film shot in NY and relating the tale of two (mainland)Chinese immigrants. Gian Wei is here legally to get an education. Siao Yu has followed him and is illegal. Both have jobs - he in the Fish Market, she in a sweatshop. In order to get her a Green Card, Gian Wei sets up a fake wedding (using up all his savings), The prospective bridegroom is Daniel Travanti, a down-on-his-luck writer with gambling debts. She moves in with him in order to fool La Migra. Complications ensue. He is a total caricature out of the 1950's - chain-smoking, sloppy and uses a ancient portable typewriter. His dialog is pure Jack Klugman/Odd Couple school. After an uncomfortable settling-in period, Travanti & his new bride seem to be getting on OK until Mrs. Travanti (Marj Dusay) shows up. She's a jazz-singing, hot-mama from the old school, with a jealous streak a mile wide. Etc, etc, etc. You can guess where the film is going every moment. Siao Yu winds up with new respect for herself at the end. He (Travanti) coughs badly during the entire film (opera buffs take note)! The two Chinese kids are both very good. Production values are nil. Synch sound is irritating and all sets are real locations.
