Synopsis 剧情简介
由一代影星林黛及赵雷主演，李翰祥凭《江山美人》(1959年)带动黄梅调电影风潮，这部改编民间传奇《游龙戏凤》的歌舞片，由代唱歌后席静婷为亚洲影后林黛幕後代唱，电影奇卖、片中插曲也大受欢迎。故事描述，正德帝（趙雷）微服私遊江南，巧遇酒家店主妹妹李鳳（林黛），一見鍾情，成其好事後，賜贈玉珮，聲言回京後冊立為后。誰知皇上音訊全無，後李鳳產下皇種，因積愁成病。酒保大牛（胡金銓）跋涉長途上京報訊，正德這才如夢方覺，即命人飛騎迎李鳳進京立妃…
Li Han-hsiang, the acknowledged master of adapting great huangmeei opera tales to film, surpasses himself with this tale of a Chinese emperor’s love for a country maiden. So beautifully filmed and sensitively told, it won the best picture award at the prestigious Asian Film Festival, and was a huge box office success. Once seen, its lush color cinematography, memorable score, and the haunting beauty of its superstar, Linda Lin Dai, is rarely forgotten.
