What happens
Come Drink with Me (大醉俠) is a 1966 Hong Kong wuxia film produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio and directed by King Hu. Set in China during the Ming dynasty, it starred Cheng Pei-pei, Yueh Hua and Chan Hung-lit in the leading roles, and features action choreography by Han Ying-chieh. Considered one of the greatest wuxia films of all time, Come Drink with Me was both a critical and commercial success, and launched the career of Cheng Pei-pei as a star of the wuxia genre. It was selected as the Hong Kong entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 39th Academy Awards, but was not nominated. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
