Lady with a Sword (or Feng Fei Fei) is a 1971 Shaw Brothers–produced movie starring Lily Ho[1] and helmed by actress Kao Pao-shu in her directorial debut. [2]

The Chinese martial arts drama stars Ho as a young woman bent on revenge after her eldest sister is murdered.[3] Ho's character soon finds out that her own fiancé (played by Nan-Kung Hsun, aka James Nam) is involved with the crime. His parents pressure her to forgive him, but she ultimately exacts bloody retribution.[4]

The film was presented in U.S. theaters during the spring of 1972 with English subtitles rather than dubbing.[5]
