Shaw Brothers Classic film fully restored
from
the original film.
Running time 120 minutes
Chinese Traditional Huangmei Opera
Synopsis :
The noted actress Li Li-hua, star of more
than
sixty films since 1947, beautifully portrays
the
drugged, then disgraced wife of a peddler in
the
waning days of the Ching Dynasty. To make
matters
worse, she's soon framed for her husband's
murder
by her rapist - the son of the local
magistrate!
And even that isn't the end of her woes. It's
best
to have a box of tissues nearby as two expert
directors ratchet up the emotional suspense in
this
consummate tearjerker.
