Viewing Notes

Shaw Brothers films are ideal for daytime viewing! Glad that DKUTV programmed another one I haven’t seen. Love the high fantasy in this, which is neat for a late 60s production. This is the type of stuff you’d find more of in their mid to late 70s output.

I didn’t expand the window on my tv since the source wasn’t sharp. Looked decent and still around a 52” viewing “screen”. Wondering if this title got the restoration treatment.
