Viewing Notes

Still daylight so picking off another SB film from the Shout! Factory set. Here for Cheng Pei Pei. Don’t think I’ve seen this one before. Neat seeing babyface Wu Ma.

Lesser Shaw Brothers but good work from Cheng Pei Pei to be more dramatic in a mostly melodramatic film. The ending is soooooo melodramatic and silly especially with Lo Lieh in his healing chair just watching.
