THE SENTIMENTAL SWORDSMAN-1977-Flying
Dagger Lee (Ti Lung; later in John Woo's A BETTER TOMORROW and Sngmoo Lee's THE WARRIOR'S WAY) is a swordsman who's code of honor has cost to
him a lot including giving up his fiance to a rival who saved his
life. Now he wanders the countryside with his faithful servant while
drowning his sorrows in wine. Along the way he befriends Ah Fei
