Thai movie วิวาห์พาฝัน was released in year 1990 and lasts 1h20mn. It is available under VCD format released by Lepso. Some parts of the movie might be censored or cut. This movie has same name as Thai movie released in year 1971 and featuring Sombat Methanee and Aranya Namwong. It is probably not a remake! Sunai (รอน) and Racha (Thida Thidarat) are newlyweds. It is honeymoon time and they invite five other young couples to stay in Sunai's resort. Another couple announces they will marry this month also (แต่งงานสองชั้น). All couples are having happiness. Following her friend's advice, lady Saranya consults an occult master (อาจารย์) in order to marry a man she loves. She leaves as the master is dishonest and tries to abuse her. While visiting an extension of the resort, a woman attacks Racha as she believes she is trying to take her husband away. A couple gets robbed. Luckily the car has a big mobile phone (by 1990 standards) so they can call for help. The ruffians come back to abuse (ปล้ำ) the lady. Sunai and Racha helps them on time and chase the ruffians. All friends are back to hotel and celebrate the new wedding. There is happiness among friends and happiness in the hotel rooms as couples. It is the last day before leaving for Bangkok. The friends are taking a final trip to river Kwai. One of the lady called Saranya is lost while wandering around the waterfall. Her friends are looking for her. A man is offering his help but tries to abuse her. Her friends are helping on her again on time. Sunai and Racha give happiness to their friends (สั่งสวรรค์ให้เขา) by inviting them again. This low budget movie was surely shot in a very short time and was probably only released in second class theaters (โรงหนังชั้นสอง). Presence of actress Thida Thidarat is certainly the main selling point.

Thai movie มนต์เรียกผัว was released in year 1976 and lasts 2h16mn. It is a Five Star Production and a remastered version was released in mid-decade 2010s. Previously it was released under VCD format by Solar company (2h12mn). Movie director is ชุติมา สุวรรณรัตน์. This is a romantic family drama movie putting focus on couple life. Plak (Mayurachath Muarnprasitivej) doesn't trust her husband Cheut (รักงาน) as he is working always late having meetings with Somchai Samipak and manager Sak (Prachuap Ruekyamdee). Ram (Somsak Chaisongkram) and aspiring model Rose (Sirikwan Nanthasiri) have a relation. Ram promises to visit her parents to officialise their relationship. Plak remains very upset as for his job, Cheut (Sombat Methanee) has to meet models. She believes he is having affairs, but she cannot catch him. It makes Cheut’s life miserable and they often quarrel. Cheut is drunk one night and meets waitress Deuan (Naiyana Shewanan). On the following day, she is aggressed and raped by two ruffians. It is a strong scene and probably one of the first movies where the main actor is unable to help the main actress. Another movie was Thon (โทน) where Chaiya is unable to help Aranya on time. It was a new trend from 1970s movies being more realistic than previous decades. Deuan's mother is played by Sulaleewan Suwanthat. Plak’s mother is played by Phong Lada Pimolpan. Rose is pregnant with Ram but he refuses to take responsibility of the baby (คนใจสัตว์) and hits her. He forces Rose to trick Cheut in order to accuse him about the pregnancy. Another day, the ruffians threaten Deuan again but Cheut and Prachuap are luckily there. They help Deuan and a fight occurs with ruffians. Cheut brings back Deuan home. Deuan's mother takes care of eight poor children and raises them so Deuan's work is important to have money for all expenses. There are children from poor prostitutes, who cannot raise them. Cheut finds a job for Deuan in Sak's company in order to work daytime instead of nightime. Plak brings trouble to Deuan so she wishes to change job. Cheut wants to have a child but Plak keeps eating birth control pills. Deuan continues to bring troubles at Cheut’s office. He gets closer to Deuan as she has everything he wishes Plak had. By hazard, Plak is present in a shop where Sak buys dresses for Deuan on behalf of Cheut. Sak organises a meeting between the two ladies to ease the tension. Deuan acknowledges she loves Cheut but gets pity from him (ความสงสาร) and not real love (ความรัก). She doesn't wish to break his marriage and mentions that Plak is a bad wife not taking care properly of his husband. Plak wants to take revenge over Cheut and goes out with Ram. Ram brings Plak to a short time hotel. He tries to abuse her but hopefully Sak, passing by, helps her. The next day, Cheut gives a lesson to Ram in a bowling alley but Ram promises to get revenge. Deuan visits a doctor and finds she is pregnant with Cheut. She has a worrying heart disease. The doctor warns she could lose her life by giving birth. But she is willing to take the risk as she knows Cheut wishes a child and she wishes to thank him for all his kindness towards her family. Plak changes her behavior and tries to be a good wife caring about her husband. On the opposite side, Cheut becomes harsher. Plak feels that Cheut changed a lot and that his love has moved to another woman. Cheut comes back home very late even on her birthday. Plak is at hospital and Cheut takes care about Deuan being sick. Ram tricks Cheut by mentioning to Rose's brother that he is one who refused to take responsibility. Cheut is kidnapped while going to Deuan's home to bring her for child delivery. Meanwhile Plak prepares to leave home for UK knowing she has lost Cheut due to her continuous jealous behavior. As Cheut is still not coming to bring Deuan to hospital, Deuan calls his home and talks to Plak without being aware. Decided to do a last good thing for Cheut, she brings Deuan to hospital and then goes towards airport. Cheut gets beaten by Rose’s brother but finally Rose confesses Ram is the father. General fighting occurs and Rose shoots Ram going to stab her brother. Cheut arrives at hospital before the delivery. Reading the letter that Plak left for him, he rushes to airport being puzzled by Deuan’s sentence that it is probably the last time they meet. He brings back Plak to hospital mentioning that such hasty departure decision should be discussed with cold heart. A child is born but Deuan has died. Plak promises to take care of all children. This movie highlights the difficulties of life for main wife (เมียกลาง) and mistress (เมียน้อย), their place in society, the choice for the husband between two wives and the way some Thai men can abuse women in Thai society (Deuan feeling ashamed of having been raped and not going to police to fill a complaint, Ram refusing assuming Rose’s pregnancy).

Takasit has just divorced with Yaboot (Jarunee Sooksawad). Somrit is having diner with Yaboot. Somrit is a seducer (ต้นไม้หลายดอก). Pim has seen Arop with Plaew and threatens to do everything she can to break this relationship (ช่วยไม่ได้). Takasit, aware that Somrit is seeing Yaboot, asks her to stop this before she gets disappointed. Yetha also sees Somrit in a disco with Yaboot. She is worried about her mother (บัดซบ / เกลียด). Yaboot's mother sees Somrit with Taen in a restaurant. Both Takasit and Yetha dislike Somit (แมงดา) and are afraid of the consequences on their mother (ไม่ยุติธรรมสำหรับแม่) as she gets love only because of her money. Tien offers a business to Somrit but there is a need to spend a lot of money on promotion. Misunderstanding increases between Yeuta, Tien, Yaboot and Takasit. Somrit is claiming nobody understands him. Yaboot is confused between Somrit and Takasit. Who does she really love? Could she marry again the husband she just divorced? Pim declares her love to Arop. Arop cannot accept this but Oon hears everything, i.e. a daughter loving her step father! Those two families are in middle of serious love crisis. Oon is the traditional Thai wife forgiving his husband’s mistakes such as minor wife. Finally the crisis are solved. Pim decides to go studying abroad and gets pardon from her parents Oon and Arop. Somrit’s double game is unmasked as he asks Yaboot for wedding. The love story with Tien is over and Somrit is chased by Yetha (ไม่ลูกผู้ชาย) under a weapon threatening without any indemnities. Yaboot finally goes back with Takasit and stops listening to her mother. Morality is safe. Somrit remains alone without anything. The movie เหยื่ออารมณ์ (1988) is about love (รัก), separation (เลิก), appearance and society constraints, i.e. no divorce in older age, no young lover for a woman. A previous version with Krung Srivilai, Aranya Namwong, Sahat Piempongsan was released in 1975.
