    An Absorbing Drama
    This film stars the incredible Lily Yuen as Julia, who falls in love with Proteus, while her brother, sent to Canton for the military, falls in love with Silvia (Cho-Cho Lam). The story is basically a chronicle of the two relationships, but it actually is more than that. You get a feel for the military regime at that time and you get elements of betrayal. The film is very watchable, but remember it is a silent film. To me, that makes no difference, but to some it might. Just seeing any film with Lily Yuen, who tragically took her own life in her 20's, is worth your time. She was a great actress and thankfully her films are at least somewhat available (you have to see the film "Goddess", its amazing). I've never seen Cho-Cho Lam before, and her career ended early, but she was very good as Silvia. The male leads are not as interesting, but this is by design. This film, with some technical problems (it is probably the best print available, it must have been shown in Asian communities in the United States) is worth watching solely because it still exists. Its available on DVD, so its easy to find. Not my favorite Lily Yuen film, but it holds your interest and that is enough of a reason to check it out.
