By now, Kwei-Fei is considered an official Meanwhile General Lushan, still angry that he was unable to procure a government post and disgusted at the corruption of Yang Guozhong, leads a revolution against the emperor.
Kwei-Fei is hanged by the Imperial Guard. Leading actress Machiko Kyô is seriously miscast as the "princess." It was a co-production between Daiei Film and Hong Kong's Shaw & Sons, a predecessor of Shaw Brothers Studio. It is certainly not Mizoguchi's best, it lacks the flair of Ugetsu and the character development of his more contemporary dramas, but I think this movie is far better than the dismissive comments suggest. General After sending her for training at the same place the former empress had studied, Kwei-Fei finally meets the emperor who notices her resemblance to his late wife and asks her to leave.

I remember seeing this film more than two years ago, and while the entire story is not very memorable (I could probably not tell everything that happens in it now, which is perhaps more my fault than the filmmaker), I have a fond memory of seeing it in visual beauty.
