The Pearl Phoenix (1967)
Directed by Yang Fan
Overview
Huangmei Opera movies like The Pearl Phoenix are unique to 1960’s Hong Kong culture, a product of the Swinging Sixties but considerably more in touch with their Chinese roots. This one is complete with a gender-bending tale where the male lead is played by female and the female lead poses as a man, plus movie queen Li Ching and the singing voices of Ivy Ling Po and Jing Ting. Sit back and enjoy!
