One of the first cinematic adaptations of the Chinese folklore The Wandering Dragon Seduces the Phoenix, Li Han Hsiang’s The Kingdom and the Beauty is one of the most successful films in 1960s Hong Kong and one of the best-known films from the Shaw Brothers Studio. Starring screen legend Lam Doi and Chao Lei, the grand old-fashioned melodrama is a take on the classical tale about an emperor who wanders out to the real world and meets the true love of his life. Boasting an emotional story, vivid production design, and great acting, The Kingdom and the Beauty won Best Picture at the sixth Asia Pacific Film Festival, and it’s also named one of the best 100 Chinese-language films ever made by the Hong Kong Film Awards. Digitally remastered, there is no better time to experience this Hong Kong cinema classic.

Bored by his life in the palace, the Emperor (Chao Lei) decides to escape to the real world with a homebound guard. There, he finds love at first sight with local waitress Li Feng (Lam Doi). After a period of courting, the two fall in love in spite of warnings by Li Feng’s friend Ta Niu (legendary director King Hu). Unfortunately, his doubts come true when the imperial guards show up to bring the Emperor back to the Forbidden City. What will the Emperor choose in the end: the kingdom or the beauty?.
