| Unfortunately movie has no
English subtiles, movie trailer is subtitled and cast info is available
in English. Also back cover tells the story and ending of the movie
in English. Picture is in original aspect ratio (2.35:1) but not
anamorphic. Being so old movie picture quality is surprisingly good but
sometimes soft. Remixed soundtrack sounds sometimes a little bit weird
and echoing but most of the time it is OK. Most of the time it is nearly
mono version but occacionally it provides some surround efforts. |

Don't know for sure about
this DVD but as WA DVD it could be
- Letterboxed not anamorphic video
- Mandarin language only (DD 5.1)
- Removable English and Chinese (Simplified) subtitles only.
- Menu (In Chinese) with scene selection and subtitle selection
- No trailers or biographies
- No region coding
- NTSC Video Format
It really would be great if it had English subtitles. I must try to
find out that. |
Princess Cheung Ping (1959) is earlier movie version of
same story. It was directed by Cho Kei and starring Chan Ho-Kau, Yum Kim-Fai,
Pak Suet-Sin and Zing Tsz-Pak.

Menu in
English and Chinese but movie has Chinese subtitles only. All Cantonese
opera movies I've seen (in online-shops mostly) has no English subtitles
at all. I guess there might not be so much demand for these kind of
movies in the West. Picture quality is far from being perfect. Some
scenes has so much scratches and other dirt. But it would be watchable. |

Princess Chang Ping  :
So far I have found out info about two differend DVD releases. Hong Kong version Universe
(DVD 5071) has no English subtitles. Mainland China version released by WA
(D-DVD 2250) details are unverified. I try to find out if it has
English subtitles but this is just wishful thingking, I'm afraid. Many WA
releases has English subtitles so maybe this could be subtitled too.
