I think the internet movie database has this listed as the fourth best film of all time. It was made in 1952 and shows its age, but has a much copied plot and has alot of heart. It is long but never boring. You must see this one!  I tried watching this one once, but went to sleep.  I'll have to try watching it again one day.You have to be in the right mood to watch a 200 minute film with subtitles.  When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

If his name is attached then more people are likely to see it (after the success of the Kill Bill films). I believe that this film was released in China a couple of years before the US release and is the most successful film ever in that country. I would think Jet Li's name would've been enough to get peoples attention in the states. You would think that, I agree, but the producers/distributers didnt seem to think that would be enough.
