The Perfumed Arrow (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Ling Bor is yet another legendary actress under the Shaw Brothers. Born in 1939, she joined the Shaw Brothers Studio in 1962, and quickly rose to fame in 1963 with The Love Eterne, winning the Special Award For Outstanding Performance at the Golden Horse Film Awards. In The Perfumed Arrow she plays Wen Fei E who is both an excellent academic as well as martial arts expert. Since her childhood days fond of dressing up as a boy, she becomes a village scholar sharing classes with Tu Zi Zheng (Chin Feng) and Wei Zhun Zhi (Ho Fan). When Fei E's innocent father is framed and sent to prison, she rushes to his rescue saving Jing Fu Quan (Kam Fie) who is in the hands of robbers along the way. Mistaking Fei E to be a noble hero, Fu Quan has no greater wish than to get married to her savior...

Put in scene by reputable director Gao Li (The Mermaid), The Perfumed Arrow offers an action-filled lively script that promises to please Ling Bor devotees. The DVD includes trailer material, a photo gallery, as well as facts about the movie, cast and director.

聞蜚蛾(凌波 飾)自幼女扮男裝從父習武,後更考得秀才功名,同窗好友杜子中(何藩 飾)與魏撰之(金峰 飾)均不知其是女兒身。聞母勸蜚蛾選撰之或子中為夫婿,不料蜚娥與二人情誼相同,一時無法抉擇,遂決定由天定奪,怎知陰差陽錯,選婿之箭落於撰之手中。蜚娥後悔不已,才知自己意屬子中。此時聞父被奸臣陷害,蜚娥決意為之雪冤,途中於強盜手中救出景員外之女景芙春(金霏 飾)。芙春感蜚蛾救命之恩,有意終身相許……

Perfectly cast as a woman impersonating a man, Ivy Ling Po - who has made a career in Huangmei Opera playing male roles - plays the tomboy daughter of a general. Like Yentl, Pei-ngo (Ivy Ling Po) maintains a male facade for the rights she doesn't have as a girl. However, her mother wants her to marriage. Not only must she consider revealing her long hidden gender secret, but she must choose between two schoolmates for a groom. It's another Huangmei Opera triumph that charms and delights.

Enjoyable huangmei opera Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
In the great canon of Shaw Brothers' huangmei opera films, "The Perfumed Arrow" is a middling work, but that just means that it is a very entertaining film, filled with songs, lively dialogue, romance, mistaken identity, and action. How can you beat that? The film serves as a perfect showcase for the talents of Ivy Ling Bo, as we get to enjoy her singing, her performance in both female and male personas, her ability to deliver comedy, drama, and dewy-eyed romance, and, yes, even her swordfighting skills. Highly recommended.
