The Lady Hermit is not a brand of cheap booze, it's a Shaw Bros. from 1971, and a good one, starring Cheng Pei-pei as the eponymous heroine who is sought by the criminal overlord she used to work for. The film looks better than many, with most scenes taking place in exterior locations - the cinematography is beautiful - and there's a sweet love triangle that includes the Hermit's long-suffering flame and her new student. Though often lyrical, there are some surprising moments of gory violence, so squeamish viewers beware. Lady Hermit was a proper thematic follow-up to Cheng Pei-Pei's classic Come Drink with Me. 8 years 8 months ago
