Product Information


導演：李翰祥
Director: Lee Hang Hsiang

　　祝英台（樂蒂）女扮男裝往杭州讀書，與同窗梁山伯（凌波）結為兄弟，繼而戀愛。山伯往求親，英台含淚告知已被許配太守之子。兩人樓台相會後，山伯一病不起；英台驚聞噩耗，出嫁前先往山伯墓前哭祭，並跳進墓裡……
獎項：第二屆金馬獎最佳劇情片、最佳導演（李翰祥）最佳女主角（樂蒂）、最佳演員特別獎（凌波）、最佳音樂（周藍萍）、最佳剪輯（姜興隆）
　　Best Picture, Best Director, Best Music, Best Editing, Best Actress and Special Awards For Outstanding Performance, this sumptuous adaptation of a Chinese folk tale won them all. Glorious Betty Loh Ti stars as a beauty that disguises herself as a boy to get an otherwise forbidden education. This sort of pre-Yentl gender-bender role-playing is traditional when it comes to Chinese opera, yet there is nothing old fashioned about the superlative screen treatment given to this all-time classic.

The Ultimate "Huang Mei" Story Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
If you see one movie in the "Huang Mei" genre, this is the one! The movie encompasses excellent performances from veteran actress Betty Loh Ti and newcomer Ivy Ling Po. The musical scores are refreshing, catchy and contagious, even after 40 years. You just wanna sing-along, even if you don't know Mandarin. As to the plot/storyline, everyone in China knows the legend. This movie immortalizes the young lovers. Subtitles are available in various languages making the movie easy to follow.

Betty Loh Ti's wonderful Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is still THE ultimate movie of the "Huang Mei" genre. Almost everything was done to perfection, except for the the height problem between Betty Loh Ti and Ivy Ling Po. (This made Betty Loh Ti looked more like an older sister to Ivy Ling Po and I'm sure it worked against her in the long run). Who could not help liking Ivy Ling Po because she was so cute and loveable in this role. Besides that, she could act. Height and age problem aside, Betty Loh Ti also played her role to perfection. She gave a multi-layered performance and showed great skill as an actress. Her male impersonation was even more MALE than Ivy Ling Po, who would on a few occasion lapse into female gesture. It was rumored that Betty Loh Ti lost the Asian Movie Queen award by one vote. Well, what the heck. If Lin Dai could win movie queen with "Les Belles", I wouldn't put much value in how these awards are determined anyway. My mom still insists that Betty Loh Ti acted better than anyone else in the movie just judging by acting skills alone, so who am I to contradict my mom. I just recommend this movie to all.

 A near perfect masterpiece !! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Watched today, Betty Loh Ti who won the Golden Horse award was still as perfect and not outdated at all. All her scences from facial expressions to dody language is perfect. No one could be able to replace her in this role.
Ivy Ling Po, by contrasts was abnit over-acting in some scenes and may be more suitable for the theatre.
The songs are great too.

Again, this original made the Tsui Hark's remake looked silly.

love eterne is a masterpiece! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The Love Eterne is a wonderful, great movie. I loved the colors, sets, costumes, room interiors as well as the music and story. The walk through the countryside of the two lovers is visually beautiful, and so charming! I want to give this VCD as gifts for Christmas to all my friends and family. -Joe Roberts, Whitewater, Calif. USA.

The No. 1 Shaw Classic !! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I recommend this film to everyone Chinese or foreigner if there must watch only one Chinese film.
Definitely Shaw Bros' best film, the director's as else well as Lok Dai and Ivy Ling Po, best songs of the genre too. Although this film brought Ling Po to fame, the already very popular then Lok Dai(Betty)stole all the scenes deserved the best actress award more than anyone in history. From beginning to end, female to male and back to female, every scene of her is flawless and memorable. Even watched today, her acting is still great. Anxious to see her in "Dreams of the Red Chamber". The songs by Ching Ting and Ling Po are all good. Watch out the male/female voices of Ching Ting.
Watch it every year !!
