Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. In eighth century China, the Emperor is grieving over the death of his wife.

General An Lushan finds a distant relative working in their kitchen whom they groom to present to the Emperor. The Emperor falls in love with her and she becomes the Princess Yang Kwei-fei. The Yangs are then appointed important ministers, though An Lushan is not given the court position he covets. The ministers misuse their power so much that there is a popular revolt against all the Yangs, fueled by An Lushan. Featuring Machiko Kyô, Masayuki Mori, Sô Yamamura. Country of production: Japan.
