Gerry de Leon's LILET was released in 1971 before Philippine Cinema ushered to the 2nd Golden Age. Among notable films during this year were Celso Ad Castillo's ASEDILLO & NYMPHA, Ishmael Bernal's debut film, PAGDATING SA DULO, Lino Brocka's STARDOOM, CADENA DE AMOR.
And it's interesting to note that LILET was produced by Mike Velarde.
