Your internship at Greater Henan Sewage not exactly what you had in mind when you signed up for a summer in China? If you think you've got it rough there, try volunteering for the job in this week's clip. Or better yet, try to figure out what job this actually is. Identifying our mystery film should be a real challenge even for those of you with excellent Chinese, so we have an excellent prize for the winner. Be sure to get your guess in to echo@popupchinese.com for a chance to win.

Mass user fail! So it turns out that not a single one of you guys guessed this week's film correctly. We take this as a sign both that we're making things a bit more difficult, and also that most of you probably haven't seen this film. Possibly also that Imron is not stranded in Winnipeg.

A crime anyway. This is a great story and is worth renting if you haven't seen it. In addition to Gregory Peck (who is good in just about anything), this also stars David Niven and Roger Moore as a post-007 British spy.

Hi everyone,

It's David here. We're having a bit of a family emergency here in Beijing so are going to be delayed getting Film Friday out this week. I'm sorry for the inconvenience here. Am hoping we can get the clip out tomorrow and sorry for keeping you guys waiting.
