| Story of Sue San, The [Yu tang chun]THE STORY OF SUE SAN (1964) tells the story of Wang Jin Long, son of a wealthy government official, and his love for Sue San, a high-class prostitute in a provincial town. Like a lot of early 1960s Hong Kong historical dramas made at Shaw Bros., this falls into the category of Huangmei Opera, which means that much of the dialogue is sung and occasional narration is provided by choral songs on the soundtrack. Sue San is played by Betty Loh Ti, who also starred in ENCHANTING SHADOW (1960), THE DREAM OF THE RED CHAMBER (1962), and LOVE ETERNE (1963), among other musical costume dramas, and Wang is played by Chao Lei, the male lead in many Huangmei operas opposite either Miss Loh or the other major female lead in these films, Linda Lin Dai, including DIAU CHARN (1958), THE KINGDOM AND THE BEAUTY (1959), THE ENCHANTING SHADOW (1960), and MADAME WHITE SNAKE (1962). In this film, Wang basically sacrifices everything to marry Sue San and pay the brothel enough money to free her from seeing other customers, going so far as to build a mansion for the two of them on an adjacent lot. When the money runs out, he falls into destitution and Sue San has to go back to entertaining other high-profile customers. Changes in fortune continue on both sides, culminating in a life-or-death court case that finds the two facing each other from opposite sides of the Imperial Chinese justice system. | 1964 | King Hu | \N | 7.3 (62 votes) | 107 | 20211228 |
