Overview:
Winner of Best Picture in the 12th Asian Film Festival, this grand "Huangmei Opera" is considered one of the best of the genre. Lavishly shot in Eastmancolor and Shawscope, with an unparalleled cast, the sublime story included royal princesses, a decades-long romance, palace betrayals, battles, intrigues, and of course a little gender-bending just to spice up the plot. So expressive was the film's libretto that it actually vied with rock and roll for popularity among Asian audiences.
