"Excerpt: Speaking of operatic cross-dressing cinema: perhaps the
rarest treat in this series is Li Hanxiang's THE LOVE ETERNE (1963;
May 31 at 7 pm), an example of the "huangmei" ("yellow plum") genre,
which involves sung dialogue and a chorus providing narrative. A smash
hit for the Shaw Brothers in Asia, it tells the legendary story of
Ying Tai (Betty Loh Ti) a young woman who enters an all-male school by
disguising herself. There she bonds with fellow student Shan Bo (Ivy
Ling Bo), and the sparks and gender confusion fly. It's Yentl, Chinese
style, with the added twist that both characters are played by women."
