The Lady Hermit

Shaw Studios star Cheng Pei-pei and director Ho Meng-hua worked together many times and this film was considered the director’s most notable. Cheng plays master swordswoman Chung Kuei, who is injured in her chivalrous attempts to reform the villainous Black Demon. Hell has no fury like a woman wounded, so she teams with a pretty young sword student and virtuous swordsman to take revenge. In this exciting story, the director and his star made magic, proving once again that Cheng Pei-pei -- recently rediscovered for her remarkable work as the "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" villain is one of martial art movies’ most valuable players.
