Mitr Chaibancha (มิตร ชัยบัญชา) (1934-1970) remains the most famous movie actor in Thailand.

• YEARS 1957~1963

During 1950s-1960s decades, film reels were done to be projected and not to be kept! As example, Thai movie "NOK NOI" (นกน้อย) (1964) had 3 copies only. Even very popular 16mm films didn't have more than a few copies done. Normally one copy was done for each region of Thailand (South, North, Northeast and Central).

Mitr Chaibancha was dedicated to his work and dedicated to cinema art.

Directors and producers were looking for new faces. Being a soldier and accomplished sportsman, handsome, tall helped Mitr Chaibancha a lot. At that time the most popular actor was Luechai Natnat.

Mitr Chaibancha always started to work early. He sometimes slept between two movies shootings. He was always generous with his money. He liked to do good deeds (ทำบุญ). He always asked news from people around him.

During that period, the leading and most popular actress was Amara Asavananda (อมรา อัศวนนท์). Mitr Chaibancha popularity came when movies changed from drama to action movies.

A book about his life has been written following advice from Thai Film Archives' chief Archivist Dome Sukavong as Mitr Chaibancha is an example for Thai youth.

Mitr Chaibancha's most famous movies were directed by Dokdin Kanyaman. This movie director remains famous for his sentence 1 ล้านจะ (1 Million already!). Before movie ticket price was only 5, 10 or 15 bath so it was a huge achievement to reach 1 million bath.

Mitr Chaibancha played in 3 movies a day, i.e. during morning then afternoon then night time. He never had time to spend money. Sometimes he played 3 movies at the same time in the same studio. He was always on time. Every year, 30 movies were released with Mitr Chaibancha so it means 2 to 3 movies every month.

During that period, Thai actors and Thai actresses were doing make up by themselves.

In the past, Mitr Chaibancha went to see his movies in cinema Emporium to see reaction and people feelings. He could not watch within the crowd so was watching people from the projection room.

In 1963, the movie แพนน้อย from director Dokdin Kanyaman did one million baht (ล้านแล้วจ่า) with Mitr Chaibancha and Petchara Chaowarat.

His movie ครุฑดำ (1963) was censured due to its title linked to Royal Garuda. It was renamed as เหยี่ยวดำ. Following the problems he focused on acting only.

Petchara Chaowarat never rested one day a month. Mitr Chaibancha was resting on 15th every month but Petchara was still acting with other actors on that day!

The movie คนเหนือคน (1967) was the last movie in which Sombat Methanee and Mitr Chaibancha played together. There were only four movies with Sombat Methanee and Mitr Chaibancha. Sombat Methanee entered cinema industry three years after Mitr Chaibancha.

• YEARS 1964~1969

In the past, Thai people were waiting for Mitr Chaibancha's movies. Many people went back home at that time if the movies didn't feature the golden couple!

Mitr Chaibancha was Thai Number 1 actor (พระเอกหมายเลขหนึ่ง). Movies with Mitr and Petchara were so popular so Thai directors could get loan in advance to fund movies! The waiting queue was so big to have Mitr Chaibancha as main actor so that he divided his daily time in three times (morning, afternoon, evening) to answer to huge demand.

Mitr Chaibancha never received a Thai Film Award (ตุ๊กตาทอง) but was named "Gold Star" (ดาราทอง) by the Thai King.

Regarding Mitr Chaibancha, Even Queen Sirikit said "I am one of his fans".

Mitr Chaibancha even entered in elections in Bangkok in 1968 with a small party made of 6 members. They all lost. He tried again in 1969 but failed to be elected despite being with a big party.

It was not easy to find a replacement to Mitr Chaibancha.

• YEAR 1970

Year 1970 was a very busy year for Mitr Chaibancha with 51 movies ongoing or done, directing role with "Insee Thong" (อินทรีทอง).

Mitr Chaibancha went to Hong Kong to play in three Wuxia films in his last year. But only "Flyer and Magic Sword" was completed. "Sword of Emei" and "The Tiger and the Dragon" were finished with other leading actor. The contract was agreed as 150,000 baht per movie.

His dream was to raise Thai movies level and to have a theater showing only Thai movies. The cost to build such theater was 13M Baht.

Mitr needed money for his Chaibancha cinema. Everything ended up with his death by falling from a rope tied to an helicopter.

It was a tragic destiny as Mitr Chaibancha played too much movies causing his death in his last one, i.e. "Insee Thong" (อินทรีทอง) as maybe he didn't rest enough so he maybe did not have enough strength to hold correctly the rope string. His famous movie partner Petchara Chaowarat became blind at the end of decade 1970s.

Mitr Chaibancha's funerals (งานศพ) were transmitted on radio to limit people coming to the temple. The temple Wat Sunthorn Thammathan was completely damaged due to the huge number of people. A funeral book about Mitr Chaibancha was released.

The Buddhist temple was so overwhelmed by people mourning so that the caretakers have to carry the dead body and show it to the crowd to calm them down. People from provinces that couldn't come to the funerals in Bangkok then offered flowers around theaters showing Mitr Chaibancha's movies.

Mitr Chaibancha was so popular that when he died, he was working on 18 different films. Many of them had to be scrapped as he was the leading actor star in all of them. มิตร แสดงได้เพียง 2ฉาก แล้วก็ต้องมาเสียชีวิตเสียก่อน น่าเสียดายจริงๆ . An actor from Chayaphum province called Chat Chayaphum (ชาติ ชัยภูมิ) was used in order to finish two movies (คนึงหา and อัศวินดาบกายสิทธิ) in which only a few sequences were missing. For some other movies such as นางละคร, the main actor was changed to Chaiya Suriyun or Sombat Methanee.

แม่ย่านาง is a 1970 movie in VCD format featuring a still colorful picture and lasting 1h54mn. An additional 30mn reel (the reel number 2) is available through a Thai collector. Young lady Prang (Sopha Sataporn) is waiting for Jiaw (เด็กวัด) to give alms (ตักบาตร) to the monks but he doesn't come today. Jiaw (Mitr Chaibancha) is a temple boy with a kind heart (ใจบุญ) so seeing Jom and his friends trying to steal money donated to the temple, he tries to prevent them to rob money to buy alcohol. Unfortunately he gets accused by Jom so the abbot believes he is the robber. Jiaw is chased from the temple. He decides to sell food (ขายของ) with his two friends by navigating on a boat on river and canals. A mysterious spirit Mae Ya Nang (ผีหลอก) (Pissamai Wilaisak) on the boat bow helps them to get business. Jae (Kaenjai Meenakanit), a shop vendor, likes Jiaw a lot but he is not interested. Sithao Petcharoen has issues with his wife as she doesn’t accept he has mistresses. Prang is seen as a young sister (น้องสาว) only by Jiaw. Jiaw seems to love his boat more than anything else despite strong interest from Jae and Prang. Jae is under a charm (ถูกเสน่ห์). A local villager has recruited a black magician (Lor Tok)(หมอผี) to make a love philter to seduce Jae. As uncle Man (พฤหัส บุญหลง - Preuhat Boonlong) breaks the spell, the black magician tries to kill uncle Man. As it fails, he sends Jom and his team protected by magic tattoos. Once again the spirit Mae Ya Nang (แม่ย่านางเรือ) protects Jiaw. In a previous life, the mysterious lady and Jiaw knew each other. The mysterious lady was a princess (ลูกหญิง). As the King's boat (พระองค์) was attacked by pirates, the King ordered Jiaw to take away the princess and to protect her. Jom, who was the head of soldiers, was treacherous to his King and killed him. Sor Asanajinda is the father of Jom. Before dying, Jiaw's friend succeeded to reach him and told the truth about Jom. Spade fighting happened between Jom and Jiaw. Jiaw won and Jom died (ทรยศ). The princess didn't trust the uncle Sor and asked Jiaw to organise their escape. Jiaw was split between his love to the princess and the love to the kingdom. The uncle Sor asked him to leave to preserve the princess. As he finally refused, he was killed by a guard. Knowing his death, the princess got suicide. Back to the present, the black magician sends Jom to kill Jiaw and the uncle Man. Prang and Jae are kidnapped by the black magician (อาจารย์). Jiaw shall avoid any bad actions (จ้องเวร จ้องกรรม) to hope being reunited with the princess one day. Jom kills the black magician as he made a love philter for himself to seduce Jae and Prang instead of doing it for Jom. Through a final fight with Jom, Jiaw is killed while protecting the abbot (in fact the king in a previous life) with his own body. Jiaw failed to protect the King in his previous life but in this life, he saves the monk. Jiaw and the princess are reunited in heaven. The 1h54mn movie is really great but the additional 30mn reel reveals additional details of the movie: Jae is upset that Jiaw prefers to sleep on the boat than with her. Jiaw helps to prevent a kidnapping of Jae. Sithao suggests Jom to visit the black magician to get spells. He is a bad guy always trying to abuse for his own purpose people asking for love philter. Through a sexy scene with an unknown veteran actress, the black magician makes a love philtre to seduce her instead of doing one for her to seduce back her husband Sithao.

This Thai spy movie starts very similary to “Impossible Mission” TV serie with tapes giving instructions. Jiep (Adul Dulyarat), expert in explosives, finds Saen (Surasit Sattayawong) in Ayuthaya. They need to find Nin (Mitr Chaibancha) in Bangkok, handsome guy and always butterflying with ladies. They have to do a secret mission related to Thailand and to complete within one month. Target is to neutralise a dangerous secret organisation (เวียดนามเหนือ). They need to find a fourth teammate (number 46) in Udon Thani. Guerrilla group soldiers (ทหารป้า) are terrorising villagers by burning their houses and even killing them. Kaneung Ha (Sopha Sataporn) is the group leader. Saree (Metta Roongrat) has been forcefully enrolled. When her parents are killed, she finally deserts. The three men finds Saree burying her parents. She accepts to join them in order to show where the guerilla is hiding. They spend one night in a villager house. This one informs the guerilla of the group presence. They flee on time but Saen doesn't trust Saree anymore and tries to kill her (ทรยศ). Kaneung Ha recruits strong men in villages by luring them with beautiful ladies (Kaenjai Meenakanit). Nin and his two friends succeed to be recruited. Kaneung Ha believes the three men are spies from government (ศัตรู) so they get tortured. Finally Kaneung Ha has pity on them. Meanwhile police is sending officers disguised in clowns (Prachuap Ruekyamdee). Saree offers her help too (ร่วมมือ).

Saree helps the three policemen to flee. Nin defeats Yot in one to one fight. Police is back with many men. Meanwhile Jiep tries to neutralize the missiles. Nin brings Kaneung Ha with him before the explosion. Police faces strong opposition before reaching the base. Kaneung Ha is the real number 46 they were looking for.

Kangwan (กังวาน) and Karaket (การะเกด) meet each other in a Buddhist temple at night time. Kangwan, young and rich bachelor, is studying magic and ghosts knowledge (วิชาชุบชีวิต). Karaket brings flowers to her mother grave, Nang Sopha. Ladies O and Karaket are half sisters, i.e. same father but different mothers. O's mother was the main wife. Karaket's mother, Nang Sopha, was the minor wife (เมียน้อย). Kangwan's father and the two daughters' father agreed to have Kangwan marry one of the two daughters. O and her mother are jealous towards Karaket especially as Kangwan has more interest into Karaket than into O. The mother decides to have Karaket killed. She is already responsible of Karaket's mother death twenty years ago by poisoning. The mother and her maid try to poison Karaket's drinking water. Nang Sopha ghost protects her daughter but no killing shall be done to avoid adding more sins to her karma (กรรม). The poisoning attempt fails thanks to the ghost intervention. The bad mother then uses a monk to purify the house and install a sacred thread around the house to prevent ghosts from entering. Kangwan has to go to India to continue his studies. Meanwhile the bad mother attempts another trial to kill Karaket by putting a snake inside a box. This time due to sacred tread (สายสิญจน์) the ghost cannot help her and she dies following the snake bite. Kangwan is at Taj Mahal when Karaket's spirit asks for help. It is time for judgement in hell and Phra Yom (God of the underworld) takes Karaket with him. Kangwan has to fulfill the earlier promise between both families and is forced to marry O.

The mother sizes a gun and kills her maid, who has revealed the truth, and is strangled by Nang Sopha ghost before being able to kill Karaket a second time. Kangwan and Karaket can marry happily. In this old movie, there are typical dog howlings to indicate ghosts coming and Fx effect are limited to images superposition for ghosts apparition. This great old 1960s movie with superstars Mitr Chaibancha and Petchara Chaowara is typical of old Thai movies with the bad girl (นางอิจฉา) trying everything to be the main actor's girlfriend and always trying to get rid of the leading actress (นางเอก).
