ACF 1439: Happy Birthday, Johnnie To, Happy Birthday To You!
Hong Kong director, producer and writer Johnnie To was born in that city on April 22, 1955. He's probably best know for his crime/action or policier films. Among the more than 50 movies he's directed are The Mission, PTU, Breaking News, Election, Exiled, and Sparrow. Such well known Hong Kong stars as Simon Yam, Andy Lau, and Suet Lam frequently star in To vehicles.
So Happy 57th Birthday wishes to you Johnnie. Looking forward to more great films from you in the future.
