 Manila By Night/City After Dark (1980)

One of my favorite scenes from the movie, Manila By Night/City After Dark (1980) Starring: Charito Solis, Johnny Wilson, Lorna Tolentino, Alma Moreno, Rio Locsin, Gina Alajar, Cherrie Gil, William Martinez, Orestes Ojeda
City After Dark, originally titled Manila by Night, is a 1980 drama film directed by Ishmael Bernal. Released at the height of the Marcos regime, the film uncovers the other face of Manila by depicting the ugly aspects of life in the city - unemployment, prostitution, drug addiction, and lack of decent housing. Considered as one of Bernal's masterpieces, it is an epic multi-narrative of people who have shady pasts and are trying to exist in an unforgiving world. ---WikiPilipinas Hip 'N Free

Charito Solis played a mother to William Martinez, a reformed prostitute who, like Lady Macbeth, is obsessed with cleaning her hands to remove the dirt of her past. She does her best to be respectable after marrying an ex-cop played by Johnny Wilson. ----WikiPilipinas Hip 'N Free

Trivia - Her Directors....

Ms Charito Solis is the only actress who has been directed by six (6) Philippine National Artist Awadees namely Lamberto Avellana, Gerardo De Leon, Eddie Romero, Manuel Conde , Ishmael Bernal and Lino Brocka. 

PS: Hopefully, Ms Charito Solis will be named National Artist of the Philippines for her great contibutions, recognitions and dedication to the Philippine Cinema.
