夏夢原名楊濛,祖籍蘇州,1933年生於上海,肄業於中西女子中學,1947年隨家人移居香港,入讀瑪利諾修院學校。她自小受鍾愛京劇的父母薰陶,常在家中戲班扮演旦角,亦熱衷戲曲。1950年她獲長城電影製片有限公司負責人袁仰安賞識,晉身影圈,得導演李萍倩提拔,當上《禁婚記》(1951)的女主角,首度亮相銀幕已大受歡迎,該片亦成為她的成名作。夏夢身材高挑、輪廓分明,古裝與時裝造型皆宜,是五、六十年代國語片最具代表性的一張面孔之一。之後她為長城演出《一家春》(1952)、《歡喜冤家》(1954)、《眼兒媚》(1958)、《烽火姻緣》(1965)等,亦為鳳凰影業演出《新婚第一夜》(1956)、《滿園春色》(1961)等,並客串《豪門夜宴》(1959),是她唯一參演的粵語片。她的古裝造型典雅美艷,在《孽海花》(1953)、《董小宛》(1963)及由查良鏞(金庸)以筆名林歡編劇、為她度身訂造的《絕代佳人》(1953)中演活個性複雜的角色;時裝片如《娘惹》(1952)、《日出》(1956)、《關在屋子裏的人》(1960)亦見其演技幅度;她既能演溫婉多情的閨秀,也能演堅毅自主的現代女性。為演好越劇電影《三看御妹劉金定》(1962)與《金枝玉葉》(1964),她專程赴上海越劇院研習身段功架。她十七年間(1950至1967年)為長城、鳳凰合共主演影片逾四十部,其中為長城主演二十多部,多次主演朱石麟執導、鳳凰或長城出品的電影,有「長城大公主」之譽,與石慧、陳思思並稱長城三公主而位居其首。1967年拍畢《迎春花》(1968)後退出影壇,移居加拿大,兩年後回港經營製衣生意,至1978年結束。其後她創辦青鳥電影製片有限公司,先後推出《投奔怒海》(1982,許鞍華執導)、《自古英雄出少年》(牟敦芾執導)及《似水流年》(1984,嚴浩執導)等三部電影,其中《投奔怒海》由她監製,《似水流年》她兼任監製與出品人,兩片先後獲香港電影金像獎最佳電影。她1967年離開香港,與當時左派組織連串遊行集會不無關係;此後一度淡出影圈,靠經營製衣生意維持生計,直到十年後才重回電影界。她選片眼光獨到,投資《投奔怒海》時大膽起用新人劉德華,令其嶄露頭角;晚年她深居簡出,但仍關注香港電影的創作。2015年香港電影資料館為她舉辦「仲夏夢影:夏夢從藝六十五載志慶」放映活動。她一生橫跨演員、監製與出品人三重身份,是香港電影史上罕見的例子。2016年10月28日她在香港病逝。

Xia Meng was born Yang Meng in Shanghai in 1933 to a Suzhou family. She left the Shanghai Chinese Women's Middle School and moved to Hong Kong with her family in 1947, attending Maryknoll Convent School. Raised by Peking-opera-loving parents, she often played the female dan roles in family theatricals and was drawn to performance. In 1950 she was spotted by Yuan Yang-an, managing director of Great Wall Movie Enterprises and, promoted by the director Li Pingqian, took the female lead in Marriage Prohibited (1951), which made her an immediate favourite and became her breakthrough. She went on to star for Great Wall in films such as A Family Reunion (1952), Happy Couple (1954) and The Tender Age (1958), and for Phoenix in The First Night of Marriage (1956) and Spring in the Garden (1961); her cameo in The Feast of a Rich Family (1959) was her only Cantonese-language appearance. Elegant in period costume, she played complex characters in Nie Hai Hua (1953), Dong Xiaowan (1963) and The Peerless Beauty (1953), scripted by Jin Yong (Zha Liangyong) under the pen name Lin Huan and written specially for her, and showed her range in contemporary films such as Niang Re (1952), Sunrise (1956) and The Person in the Room (1960). To prepare for the Yue-opera films Three Glimpses of Princess Liu Jinding (1962) and The Princess's Jade (1964) she studied movement at the Shanghai Yue Opera Theatre. In more than forty films, many for Phoenix or Great Wall under Zhu Shilin, she became known as Great Wall's 'princess'. She retired after Winter Jasmine (1968), moved to Canada, returned to Hong Kong two years later to run a garment business until 1978, and then founded Blue Bird Film Company, producing three films: Boat People (1982, directed by Ann Hui), which she produced; Little Heroes of Ancient Times (directed by Mou Dunfei); and Homecoming (1984, directed by Yim Ho), which she both produced and presented. Her two later features won Best Film at successive Hong Kong Film Awards. In 2015 the Hong Kong Film Archive mounted a retrospective, 'Summer Dreams: Celebrating Sixty-five Years of Hsia Moon'. She died in Hong Kong on 28 October 2016.

影響與傳承 Impact & Legacy

繁體中文

夏夢以《禁婚記》走紅,成為長城電影的當家花旦,其典雅的古裝與時代女性形象是五、六十年代國語片的標記。息影多年後她創辦青鳥電影,監製《投奔怒海》,並以監製兼出品人身份推出《似水流年》,兩片接連奪得香港電影金像獎最佳電影,把敏銳的選片眼光帶進新時期香港電影。她既是舊日片廠制度的明星,也是新浪潮電影的推手,兩種身份同樣鮮明。

English

Hsia Moon became Great Wall's leading star after Marriage Prohibited (1951), and her elegant period heroines and modern women came to define Mandarin cinema of the 1950s and 60s. Years after retiring she founded Blue Bird Film Company and produced Boat People (1982) and Homecoming (1984), which won Best Film at successive Hong Kong Film Awards. Her eye for subject matter, directors and new talent helped steer Hong Kong filmmaking into a fresh era. She thus bridged the studio age and the 1980s new wave, and her influence outlived her years on screen. She died in 2016 at the age of 83.
