- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who'll be humming afterwards and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 49 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
A sweet inn-keeper's daughter falls in love with a woodcutter, but witnesses the woodcutter's brother raping her sister. Tragically, the sister commits suicide in shame, and the rapists turn his attentions to the witness, leading to more danger than most romantic dramas can handle.
