陳皮 CHAN Pei (1903-1966)

約生於1903年,廣東人,原名陳少林,父親為粵劇著名小武靚全。就讀於香港拔萃和皇仁書院。畢業後初任職洋行。1926年,與朋友合組滿天紅影片公司,陳執導了默片《艷福難銷》(1926),影片完成後遇上海員大罷工,沒有公映其公司便結束了。他又參加了團員包括林坤山、伊秋水的琳瑯幻境劇社,曾作業餘演出話劇《梁天來》和《沙三少》。後組織廣州歌舞男女劇團,在廣州大新公司天臺遊樂場演出多月。三十年代任新月唱片公司灌音主任,負責邀請藝人為新月灌錄唱片。其後離開新月,自組黃龍唱片公司,在1932年與百代唱片公司合作,組織藝人灌錄唱片。

1935年薛覺先為竺清賢的南粵影片公司演出《沙三少》( 1935)一片,找陳皮演回他曾演過的話劇。陳皮從此為南粵演出。1936年,為鸚鵡公司執導了首部有聲電影《客途秋恨》(1936),再執導了《可憐秋後扇》(1936),開始主理南粵公司的導演事務。為南粵執導了《孤寒財主》(1936)、《妻多夫賤》(1936)和《鬥氣姑爺》(1937) 等賣座喜劇。1937 年執導的《神秘之夜》(1937)更大膽地在香港片中創立了以歌唱取代對白的「歌唱片」形式,為後來不少粵語片所仿效。1938年又在南粵片場執導了一部由越南人演出的越南語電影《鬼域》(1938)。

香港淪陷後,為躲避日本軍方報導部的羅致,找機會逃到廣州灣(今湛江),與吳楚帆等組成明星話劇團,在廣州灣、馬來亞和新加坡等地巡迴演出。戰後返港重執導筒,薛覺先的《胡不歸(下卷)》(1947)、《冤枉相思》(1947)及馬師曾的《我為卿狂》(1947)均由他執導。五十年代初,陳常找吳一嘯任撰曲,執導了多部甚有個人特色的歌唱片,如《新梁山伯與祝英台》(1951)、《歌唱沙三少》(1951)、《歌唱倫文敘》(1952)、《夜弔秋喜》(1954)和《情賊沙三少》(1954)等。

《新梁山伯與祝英台》古裝部分大量粵曲唱段,《歌唱沙三少》則接近全片對白都化作粵曲唱出。另外,又曾執導鄧碧雲主演的喜劇《鐵嘴雞》(1956)。

1960年,成為新創辦的興發電影公司製片主任,亦是興發公司的主力導演,較有名的作品包括《琴挑誤》(兩集,1960)、《夫證妻兇》( 1961)、《歌唱仕林祭塔》( 1962)等。1964年因病做手術後退休。1966年6月20日由於肝癌在香港病逝。
