Web databases seem to have got the release year wrong
[edit]Primary sources clearly prove the film was released before 1971:
- Listed in the Republic of China Film Yearbook for 1968 [1], though the "snippet view" doesn't show enough context to know whether it was upcoming or already-released by then
- Reviews from Singapore's Nanyang Siang Pau and mention of cinema screenings of the film there in January 1970 [2][3]
Reliable secondary sources list the release year as 1969:
- Historical Dictionary of Taiwan Cinema [4]
- Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute's biographies of Chen Hung-min (the director) [5] and Henry Kung (the producer) [6]
