Allan Dwan (3 April 1885 – 28 December 1981) was a pioneering Canadian-born American motion picture director, producer, and screenwriter. <SEP> It tells the story of Roy Neary, an everyday blue- collar worker in Indiana, whose life changes after an encounter with an unidentified flying object( UFO). " Close Encounters" was a long- cherished project for Spielberg. In late 1973, he developed a deal with Columbia Pictures for a science fiction film. Though Spielberg received sole credit for the script, he was assisted by Paul Schrader, John Hill, David Giler, Hal Barwood, Matthew Robbins, and Jerry Belson, all of whom contributed to the screenplay in varying degrees. The title is derived from Ufologist J. Allen Hynek's classification of close encounters with aliens, in which the third kind denotes human observations of aliens or" animate beings". Douglas Trumbull served as the visual effects supervisor, while Carlo Rambaldi designed the aliens. Made on a production budget of$ 20 million," Close Encounters" was released in a limited number of cities on November 16, 1977 and November 23, 1977 before expanding into wide release the following month. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a 1977 American science fiction film written and directed by Steven Spielberg, and starring Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda Dillon, Teri Garr, Bob Balaban, Cary Guffey, and François Truffaut. It was a critical and financial success, eventually grossing over$ 300 million worldwide. The film received numerous awards and nominations at the 50th Academy Awards, 32nd British Academy Film Awards, the 35th Golden Globe Awards and the 5th Saturn Awards, and has been widely acclaimed by the American Film Institute. In December 2007, it was deemed" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. A" Special Edition" of the film, featuring both shortened and newly added scenes, was released theatrically in 1980. Spielberg agreed to do the special edition to add more scenes that they were unable to include in the original release, with the studio demanding a controversial scene depicting the interior of the alien mothership. Spielberg's dissatisfaction with the altered ending scene led to a third version of the film, referred to as the" Director's Cut", that was issued on VHS and LaserDisc in 1998( and later DVD and Blu-ray). The director's cut is the longest version of the film, combining Spielberg's favorite elements from both previous editions but removing the scenes inside the alien mothership. The film was later remastered in 4 K and re-released in theatres on September 1, 2017 for its 40th anniversary. <SEP> Sailor's Lady, also known as Sweetheart of Turret One, is a 1940 film directed by Allan Dwan and starring Nancy Kelly and Jon Hall.

The film was produced by Hung's production company Bo Ho Film Company. It was released as "Spooky Encounters" in the US. It is sometimes listed as "Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind", more blatantly mimicking the title of the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977). The film was the progenitor of the jiangshi film genre and one of Hong Kong's first kung fu horror comedies. There is a stand-alone sequel starring Hung and Lam Ching-ying, "Encounters of the Spooky Kind II" (a.k.a.
