YesAsia Editorial Description

Popular Shaw Brothers actress Li Jing stars in Moonlight Serenade, a gorgeously shot and utterly involving morality play set in a rural mountain town in China. Jing Jing (Li Ching) is an inn-keeper's daughter in love woodcutter Hui Sheng (Chin Feng). But pastoral romance is not all that occurs in the remote mountains. Jing Jing is witness to a terrible crime perpetrated by two rich brothers - and also one of her community's own residents! Tragedy strikes the town, and as tension mounts, Jing Jing may end up in danger. Alternating between beautiful exteriors and the familiar Shaw Brothers sets, Moonlight Serenade is harrowing and romantic, gorgeous and ugly, and altogether involving. Directed by longtime actor Yen Chun, Moonlight Serenade is an uncommon melodrama that stands out among similar films in the vast library of Shaw Brothers films.

Winning musical melodrama Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Among the many great Shaw Bros. movie musicals, I believe "Moonlight Serenade" is very underrated. The music, based primarily on familiar Chinese folk melodies, is superb, the cinematography is both imaginative and lush, the direction is energetic, the melodramatic story is gripping, and the acting performances are uniformly solid. It all works in this wonderful motion picture!

Not surprisingly, "Baby Queen" Li Jing (who was only 18 years old when "Moonlight Serenade" was filmed) really stands out. She gives one of her bravest performances as the strong-willed, yet girlish, young shepherdess. The actress Li Ting also does a fine job in her role as the hard-luck victim who hangs herself. It is especially poignant to note that the lovely Li Ting actually did commit suicide by hanging herself in her Shaw Bros. dorm room shortly after the filming of this movie was completed.

By the way, I must disagree with the previous reviewer. The ending of this film is anything but an anticlimax! "Moonlight Serenade" is very, very highly recommended by your humble servant.

Ching Ching Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Li Ching is quite witty in this film. The film was beautifully shot but the ending was a bit of an anti-climax. A bold theme to tackle, spoiled by phrases taken word for word from another movie "The sheppard girl". Nevetheless still a good movie to watch.
