The seamy side of the Hong Kong film industry is laid bare in "The Call-Girls". Based on the infamous starlets-for-sex vice scandal that rocked the 1970s movie world, the drama has a startlingly gritty sense of reality in the casting of two of the era's more prominent erotic stars, Chen Ping and Shirley Yu. The scandal arouses the sense of justice of the young cop, played by Danny Lee, and the movie went on to become a top ten box office hit in 1977.
