I took your advice and ordered Enchanted Shadow, which was wonderful and will likely see the light of R1 DVD soon, as many of the Shaw Brothers titles are gradually appearing and this would seem to be one of the classics. I have ordered Fairy, Ghost, Vixen as well and will let you know what I thought after it arrives. Song at Midnight is now available as a R1 DVD and even though the picture quality is not so great, it's worth seeing. As you may know, this is the Chinese version of Phantom of the Opera. Anyway, these obscure international titles are seeing the light of day, so I'm trying to remain optimistic that many aren't lost for good.
