This was a Chinese musical done by the Shaw Brothers starring Li Hua Li. A concubine is raped and her lover mistrusts her. He believes the rapist and her were carrying on with an affair. Halfway through the movie, I didn't like it. I thought it was saying that rape is the same as an affair. However, I was wrong. She does get her revenge in the end. I found this strange material for a musical but I liked it nevertheless. I got it off yesasia.com. It seems like I'm the only one who likes these Asian musicals from the past as they are not available on amazon.com. Not only that they are usually in different regions which is why I got an all-region player.
