A Spray Of Plum Blossoms
''A Spray of Plum Blossoms'' () is a 1931 silent Chinese film directed by Bu Wancang and starring Ruan Lingyu, Wang Cilong, Lim Cho Cho, and Jin Yan. It is a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's ''The Two Gentlemen of Verona''. The film is one of several collaborations between Bu Wancang and two of the top Chinese movie stars of the day Ruan Lingyu and the Korean-born Jin Yan and was produced by the Lianhua Film Company. The film is noted for its attempted "Westernized stylings" including its surreal use of decor, as well as women-soldiers with long hair. The film also had English subtitles, but as some scholars have noted, since few foreigners watched these films, the subtitles were more to give off an air of the West rather than to serve any real purpose.Pang, Laikwan, ''Building a New China in Cinema: The Chinese Left-Wing Cinema Movement'', (New York: Rowman & Littlefield, 2002), 26.Bi-qi Beatrice Lei, "Paradox of Chinese Nationalism: ''Two Gentlemen of Verona'' in Silen ...

Television Series Set In The 1930s
Television, sometimes shortened to TV, is a telecommunication medium for transmitting moving images and sound. The term can refer to a television set, or the medium of television transmission. Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment, news, and sports. Television became available in crude experimental forms in the late 1920s, but only after several years of further development was the new technology marketed to consumers. After World War II, an improved form of black-and-white television broadcasting became popular in the United Kingdom and the United States, and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions. During the 1950s, television was the primary medium for influencing public opinion.Diggs-Brown, Barbara (2011''Strategic Public Relations: Audience Focused Practice''p. 48 In the mid-1960s, color broadcasting was introduced in the U.S. and most other developed countries.
