吳回 | NG Wui
小傳
吳回,1912年12月3日在廣州出生,籍貫廣東新會, 原名吳耀民,因此圈中人都叫他做民叔( 文叔)。吳回自小失學,1929年入讀廣東戲劇研究所,又曾在電影院擔任默片解說,1939年來港投身電影界,翌年加入大觀聲片公司,在多部粵語片擔任小角色, 也做幕後工作。1 9 4 1 年吳回初執導演筒,拍攝《今宵重見月團圓》,又與李晨風合導《阮氏三雄》。同年年底日本攻陷香港,吳回到廣州灣組成明星劇團宣傳抗日,到1945年抗戰勝利才返回香港。1947年重投影圈,既做演員也做導演。吳回拍片以又多又快又好見稱,最保守估計他共拍了二百二十多部電影。
五十年代初他與二十位粵語片工作者組成中聯電影企業公司,要拍有意義的好片,改變粵語片粗製濫造的現象。中聯出品的四十四部片中,他導演了二十部( 包括聯合導演),包括創業作《家》(1953)、《大雷雨》(1954)、《金蘭姊妹》(1954)、《錢》(1959)、《人》(1960)、《海》(1963) 等。他導演的代表作有《敗家仔》(1952)、《芸娘》(1954)、《原野》(1956)、《雷雨》(1957)、《十兄弟》(1959)。吳回亦曾演出一百多部電影,大多數是小人物角色,但他都能把這些不起眼的角色演活。
七十年代初粵語片式微,吳回在1970年加入麗的電視做編導,後來回復演員身份專心演戲,成為一個出色的甘草演員。
他在1974年後導演了六部電影,最後執導的電影是《懵仔傻妹妙偵探》(1979)。
他在八十年代中退休,與妻子葉萍在中山頤養天年,但間中亦回港客串演出電影與電視。他最後演出的電影是《九品芝麻官白面包青天》(1994)。
吳回在1994年獲香港電影導演會頒贈終身成就獎,1996年3月1日在中山病逝,終年83歲。
