Viewing Notes

A number of ‘60s era Shaw Brothers movies are more romantic melodramas than action films and THE GOLDEN SWALLOW falls neatly into this category, as much concerned with the romantic triangle between the three great leads as it is with sword fights, though it has enough of those to keep you occupied as well. Chang Pei Pei, Jimmy Wang Yu and Lo Lieh make a great central trio.
