  本片改編自耳熟能詳的中國民間神話故事,乃電懋公司慶祝創業十週年的紀念作,動員旗下全體明星、導演、編劇傾力製作。故事講述書生劉彥昌(尤敏)在華山巧遇聖母(葛蘭),二人一見鍾情,結下一段仙凡姻緣,並誕下一子沉香。二郎神(趙雷)得悉此事後大為震怒,派哮天犬(雷震)盜走寶蓮燈,並將聖母囚於華山天牢。劉彥昌得仙姑靈芝(容蓉)指引,攜子逃回凡間。沉香(林翠)長大後聞悉生母被壓華山,悲憤欲絕,赴仙山尋訪霹靂大仙(王引)修道學藝,終藉神斧之助挫敗二郎神,劈山教母,隨母同返天庭。本片情節傳奇,扣人心弦,由亞洲影后尤敏與首次主演古裝片的葛蘭分飾劉彥昌及華山聖母,更是錦上添花。

  To commemorate its 10th anniversary, MP&GI has devoted all its resources to produce The Magic Lamp. With MP&GI's much-acclaimed stars, script writers, producers and directors at its helm, The Magic Lamp is undoubtedly one of the most memorable pictures in MP&GI's history. Adapted from one of China's most well-known fairy tales, the Goddess of Mount Hua falls in love with a young mortal scholar Liu Yanchang and gives birth to a baby son, Chenxiang. When Chenxiang grows up, he seeks to unravel the mystery surrounding his mother whom he has never met.

Cathay's Version of the Lotus Lamp Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This film is Cathay Studios' version of the Lotus Lamp, earlier made by Shaw Brothers. Certainly not as grand a production as Shaw's, but I enjoyed seeing this alternate version. Like Shaw's, this is a Huangmei Opera, and is in black and white; the color photo on the slipcase may lead you to think it's a color movie.

I didn't recognize Grace Chang at first, but she is very good in her role as the goddess. Unlike the Shaw version, where Lin Dai played both the role of the goddess and the 'son', in this version the son is played very nicely by Lin Tsui (one of my favorite actresses from this era). Apparently, in anyone's Huangmei opera, there's no getting away from women playing the boy's roles, so You Min gets the role of the scholar, played by Cheng Pei Pei in the Shaw.

If you've enjoyed the Panorama releases of the Cathay (MP&GI) films in general, you'll likely enjoy this one, too. It seems to be one of the few costume films being released by Panorama. If you only plan to see one "Lotus Lamp", Shaw is the way to go. But if you've enjoyed Shaw's, you'll likely enjoy seeing this alternate view of the story.

The English subtitles are good, as the Panorama titles usually are. There is slight damage at the beginning of the film, in that the original main titles are missing, and there are some scratches at the very start. But otherwise, the print is generally good.

As usual, the biographies and notes are only in Chinese, with no English translations.
