Shaw Brothers series old film fully restored from
the original film.
Released two years after its star's suicide,
the sequel to the original box office hit becomes
all the more moving because of it. Set during
World War II, it follows a singer who searches
battle-scarred China for her lover, who is
entangled with Japanese invaders, communist
insurgents, and a warlord's beautiful daughter.
See if you can spot Elsie Tu, the lead's double
and a future Shaw Brothers star, who substituted
in scenes completed after Linda Lin Dai's death. |
