synopsis

Award-winning director Chang Tsang-chai only made seven films for the Shaw Brothers, this was considered one of his best -- a fascinating thriller about people gambling with their money, their love and their lives. There, two lovers meet after being separated for years, and vow to rid the establishment of corrupt military leaders, cheaters, extortionists, and criminals. They finally succeed, but at a terrible price. Lily Ho, of Princess Iron Fan fame, and Yueh Hua, star of Raw Courage, are the star-crossed, tragic lovers, who bet on righteousness, and come up blood red.
