'The Wedding Banquet'

(Samuel Goldwyn)

A Chinese American landlord has a gay partner, but decides to please his parents by marrying his female tenant Wei-Wei, who needs a green card. When the 'rents hit America for the wedding festivities, however, the ruse reaches new heights.

Lesson learned: Seducing and subsequently getting pregnant by your in-name-only spouse is one way to secure the marriage and also please the grandchild-hungry older generation.
