Get out your handkerchiefs for this award-winning drama. Nineteen-year-old Li Ching, nicknamed the "Baby Queen" of Shaw Brothers, scored a major success playing the title character, Susanna. Li's youthful exuberance is given free rein in a role that embraces rebellion, love, betrayal, tragedy, and ultimately, redemption. The all-star cast includes Diana Chang Chung-wen (known as "the most beautiful creature in Free China") and Kwan Shan (father of present-day superstar Rosamund Kwan) as Susanna's parents. In an era known for its martial arts action pictures and traditional musicals, Susanna is a rare example of poignant drama at its most moving.
