The restoration of a 1934 black-and-white action movie, famed for
high-octane stunts including a hot-air balloon escape and a jungle shootout
against teakwood thieves, has energized efforts to salvage more of
Myanmar's decaying cinematic heritage.

The survival of Myanmar's earliest film still in existence, "Mya Ga Naing"
(The Emerald Jungle), and its rise to international acclaim is perhaps as
unlikely a feat as its lead role's triumph over pythons and bandits with
his bare hands.
