蔣偉光原名蔣子祺,廣東新會梅閣人,1910年出生,後改名蔣偉光並一直沿用。父親蔣修身是古巴華僑。他曾入讀廣州嶺南大學,投身電影界前在梨園擔任「開戲師爺」。二次大戰期間他滯留美國,結識了大觀公司的老闆趙樹燊,為大觀聲片有限公司(美國分廠)拍攝《佳偶天成》(1947)、《海角情鴛》(1947)等片,亦曾以原名蔣子祺執導《光明之路》(1946)。他是一位多產導演,作品超過160部。1951年加入大成影片公司,展開長期合作,拍過《還君一點相思淚》(1953)、《恨不相逢未嫁時》(1955)、《火網梵宮十四年》(1958)等片。1956年他脫離大成,自組重光影業公司,拍過《畫裡天仙》(1957)、《可憐女》(1959)等戲曲片,並為桃源電影企業公司執導《枇杷巷口故人來》(1959)與《獅吼記》(1959)。1961年他受邵氏賞識,加入粵語片組,拍過《玉女求凰》(1961)與《情淚染袈裟》(1962)等片。他的作品類型多樣,既有粵劇戲曲片,也有倫理片(《人人為我,我為人人》〔1954〕)、探討社會問題的青春片(《紅男綠女》〔1965〕)、時裝間諜片(《紅色響尾蛇》〔1965〕)、愛情文藝片(《青青河邊草》〔1966〕)及青春歌舞片(《我愛阿哥哥》〔1967〕)等,尤其擅拍喜劇(《唔嫁》〔1951〕、《詐癲納福》〔1956〕等),票房理想,因而有「財神導演」之譽。他勇於創新,也愛培育新人,江一帆、胡楓、鄭少秋等都曾受他提攜。1971年拍畢國語片《模特兒之戀》後退出電影圈,八十年代初移民加拿大,1991年5月2日在溫哥華病逝,終年81歲。

Cheung Wai-kwong, born Chiang Tsz-kei in 1910 in the Meige district of Xinhui, Guangdong, kept the name Chiang Wai-kwong throughout his career. His father was a Chinese Cuban. He studied at Lingnan University in Guangzhou and, before entering films, worked in Cantonese opera as a play-booking manager. Stranded in the United States during the Second World War, he met Joseph Sunn, owner of Grandview, and directed The Ideal Couple (1947) and Lovers at the Cape (1947) for Grandview's American studio, also making The Road to Light (1946) under his original name. One of Hong Kong's most prolific directors, he made over 160 films. Joining Great Wall's Tai Seng company in 1951, he worked there for years on films such as Tears of Longing (1953), Born to Part (1955) and Fourteen Years in the Temple (1958). In 1956 he left Tai Seng to found his own Chung Kwong company, making opera films including The Fairy in the Painting (1957) and The Pitiful Girl (1959), and directing The Old Friend at the Loquat Lane (1959) and The Tale of the Lion's Roar (1959) for Taoyuan. Shaw Brothers recruited him for its Cantonese unit in 1961, where he made A Girl's Search for Love (1961) and Tears on the Cassock (1962). His output ranged across opera, moral dramas, youth films on social problems, spy thrillers, romantic dramas and musicals, and he was especially strong in comedy such as Not Married (1951) and The Fake Lunatic (1956), whose box-office success earned him the nickname 'the God of Wealth director'. Fond of innovation and of nurturing newcomers, he gave early breaks to Kong Yat-fan, Wu Fung and Adam Cheng. After finishing the Mandarin film Model Love (1971) he retired, emigrated to Canada in the early 1980s, and died in Vancouver on 2 May 1991, aged 81.
