導演：李翰祥｜何夢華
Director: Li Han-hsiang, Ho Meng-hua

大導演李翰祥與何夢華攜手通過黃梅調，將清末四大奇案之一搬上銀幕。劇情講述知縣之子劉子和(楊群 飾)，垂涎葛小大(朱牧 飾)之妻小白菜(李麗華 飾)，用迷藥將其姦污。劉子和事後恐東窗事發，用砒霜毒死葛小大。葛死後，鎮內流言四起，知縣為救愛兒，設計嫁禍小白菜婚前戀人楊乃武(關山 飾)，加以「謀夫奪婦」之罪。乃武被苦打成招，鎮中群情洶湧，鄉紳聯名入狀浙江杭州知府救乃武。乃武姊楊淑英(歐陽莎菲 飾)不忍見弟含冤而死，到刑部要求翻案……

The noted actress Li Li-hua, star of more than sixty films since 1947, beautifully portrays the drugged, then disgraced wife of a peddler in the waning days of the Ching Dynasty. To make matters worse, she’s soon framed for her husband’s murder by her rapist - the son of the local magistrate! And even that isn’t the end of her woes. It’s best to have a box of tissues nearby as two expert directors ratchet up the emotional suspense in this consummate tearjerker.

Will keep you on the edge of your seat Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
In "The Adulteress" a young orphan girl falls in love with a young scholar, but is married to a poor tofu maker who will provide her a hard but stable life. The local magistrate's son covets the poor woman and drugs her so he can have his way with her. One evil deed leads to another and soon we find the tofu maker poisoned to death and his unfortunate wife and the young scholar unjustly charged for the crime. More than half of the film's length is played out in a series of courtroom scenes, as the plot gets increasingly complex.

I couldn't look away from this riveting and suspenseful huangmei opera. The film takes many unexpected but completely logical twists and turns on its way to an entirely satisfactory conclusion. With most huangmei films, the viewer has a pretty good idea of where the story is going to end up; that's never true of "The Adulteress" -- it provides surprise after surprise.

Li Lihua gives a nice performance as the tortured young woman, Kwan Shan is great as the unjustly accused scholar, but the best performance of all may come from veteran actor Yeung Chi-Hing, as the corrupt magistrate who frames them in order to cover for his son. With solid acting and a gripping story, "The Adulteress" must rank among the all-time greats of the huangmei genre.

Captivating plot Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I thoroughly enjoyed this remake version of Xiao Bai Cai. Li Lihua is just as beautiful here as she was in the earlier version of the '50s. I have nothing but praise for the way she portrayed her character in this movie. The veterans cast and the twist and turn of the gripping plot all helped to make this an enchanting drama to watch.
