RIVER OF FURY (1973) is a straight drama from Shaw Bros. about a village boy, a girl in a Chinese opera troupe, and the boy's mentor, a riverboat captain with a sideline in smuggling, all set in the early 20th century, although it's not clear exactly when.
I would argue the 1920s or earlier, although the cars and cameras we see late in the film come from much later (1940s).
In any event, it's quite a touching story, marked by excellent performances by the three leads, Danny Lee, Lily Ho, and Ku Feng, location shooting in Taiwan, and authentic glimpses of the world of Chinese Opera.
What's especially striking about this movie is its frequent depictions of scenes from actual Chinese operas. There's even a Chinese Opera adviser listed in the opening credits alongside the fight choreographer.
At one point the troupe performs a scene from "Butterfly Lovers" (a famous tale made into numerous films on its own), in which the forced separation of Ying-tai and Shan-bo parallels the breakup of Yiqing and Yezhuangzi.
