A Million Light Shall Glow is a documentary made by Athos Films on behalf of the Hong Kong Tourist Authority. It was shot in colour, dates from 1959, and is the first film produced to promote tourism to the colony. (This was at a time when tourism to Asia was beginning to boom particularly from the US.) Its original title was A Million Lights Shall Glow but when shown in the US this was changed to the more prosaic Wonderful Hong Kong. Here it was distributed by Columbia as a 'featurette.'
In 1965 it won top honors in a travel film competition at Cannes.
Athos Films was a London-based company (not the same as the French Athos Films) that largely produced documentaries for a wide range of clients. The crew were freelancers. Ron Bicker, the director and cameraman was a prolific filmmaker who started out in the 1930s - the IMDB does not do his career justice.
This version of the film has a French narration but the English language version had a narration by Larry Cross. If you are not a French speaker the images speak for themselves and offer a unique glimpse into Hong Kong.
As an aside, the English 'cast' were recruited largely from a local AmDram society, the Hong Kong Players.
