About The Blue and the Black

Directed by Doe Ching, The Blue and the Black leans on a strong ensemble — Linda Lin Dai, Guan Shan, Angela Yu Chien — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1966.
