扮皇帝 (靜婷+江宏) (The Kingdom and the Beauty)

I watched this movie when I was very young. However, the main actress (Lin Dai 林黛) died at the end of the story due to heart brokenness. In actual life, she committed suicide.



The Kingdom and The Beauty (1959)starring Lin Dai and Zhao Lei from the era of Movie Kings and Movie Queens when Sir Run Run Shaw reigned supreme in the Entertainment Industry. The singing voices for the characters are provided by the top singers at that time. Incidentally, Lin Dai was a 4-time winner of the Best Actress award and she took her own life tragically at the age of 29.
Wikipedia says: Lin Dai (Chinese: 林黛 26 December 1934 17 July 1964) was a Chinese actress of Hong Kong films made in Mandarin during 1950s60s.
