Shaw Brothers Classic film fully restored from the original film.
Synopsis :
Li Han-hsiang, the acknowledged master of adapting great huangmei opera tales to film, surpasses himself with this tale of a Chinese emperor's love for a country maiden. So beautifully filmed and sensitively told, it won the Best Picture Award at the prestigious Asian Film Festival, and was a huge box office success. Once seen, its lush color cinematography, memorable score, and the haunting beauty of its superstar, Linda Lin Dai, is rarely forgotten. |
