One of the starrers of real-life couple Gloria Romero and Juancho Gutierrez is Pagoda, shot in 1958 with ‘beautiful, mysterious Hong Kong’ as backdrop. It was filmed in Eastman Color to better capture the scenic spots of the Crown Colony.
Sampaguita produced Pagoda in collaboration with HK’s Golden City Film Co., jointly directed by Eduardo de Castro and Wong Tien Lin.
Co-starring with Gloria and Pancho are Dolphy and Barbara Perez as well as Chinese actress Lee Mei.
