Gripping Huangmei melodrama
|
"Dawn Will Come" is a melodramatic Huangmei opera gem from Shaw Brothers. As the film opens, young scholar Gai Liangcai (Lei Ming) arrives at the home of an old master to learn at his feet. However, the old master is traveling and no one knows precisely when he will return. Due to the late hour, Gai asks to stay at the master's home until the next morning. The master's daughter Yan Qiurong (Li Hsiang Chun) agrees to let the handsome scholar stay. Once the scholar sees Qiurong's beauty, all thoughts of learning leave his head; he wants only to possess her. Shockingly, he drugs her and, while she is under the influence, he has his way with her. When it finally is time for Gai to return home, he promises that he will come back to wed the now-pregnant Qiurong. Once Gai arrives at his home, all thoughts of poor Qiurong are left behind. Instead of marrying the humble beauty he impregnated, he weds Wen Shuzhen (Ivy Ling), who comes from a well-positioned and wealthy family. When Qiurong and her servant journey to Gai's home to find out what has become of him, Shuzhen is shocked to discover her new husband's dastardly deeds. Gai then sets out to eliminate all his problems ... and there seems to be no evil to which he won't stoop. In the end, Shuzhen turns to Gai's father, the magistrate of Suzhou (Shaw Bros. veteran Jing Miao) to set things right, but the magistrate is torn between the call of justice and his loyalty to his son. Filled with beautiful sets, lavish costumes (Ling Po's gorgeous gowns deserve a movie of their own!), and fine performances from an excellent cast, "Dawn Will Come" is a wonderful entertainment. But what really sets this film apart is its suspenseful ending -- until the magistrate issues his ruling, the viewer never knows whether justice will prevail or Gai will get away with his crimes. Director Gao Li works wonders and "Dawn Will Come" just might be the most thrilling of the Huangmei films. |
