When the Peking Opera visits Toronto, a Canadian stagehand falls in love with one of the principal singers. He pursues the romance despite the singer's initial shyness. However, what little chance their love has to succeed is ultimately doomed, for the troupe eventually returns to Red China. Though the drama is simplistic, the cast bring a certain fresh quality to their roles, helped along by the quick-paced direction that is so often found in minor, independent features like this. Some sharp photography makes good use of the Toronto locations. Producer-director Secter was 23 years old when he made this film. leave a comment
