The 1960 version of "Lady" uses a 1.33:1 aspect ratio (the academy standard), and the pictures focus on characters and rarely create scenes. Show class differences.

When the male protagonist crosses the line with the next girl for the first time, the rainstorm is like a note, and the camera is shot to the tree that was hit by lightning and burnt, implying that this is a fierce and indecent relationship. And when the male protagonist and the next girl committed suicide together, there were thunderstorms and a tragic atmosphere.

The creepy soundtrack, zoomed-in shots of the mice, Chang Shun's death, and the messy look of the maid give the film a horror-like feel to it. Rat poison is mentioned many times in the first half of the film, laying the groundwork for the next daughter to kill Changshun, her wife's attempted murder of the next daughter, her daughter's attempt to steal rat poison, and the suicide of the male protagonist and the next daughter.

This version intends to decriminalize the hero. His cowardice and indecision make this bad relationship a struggle for the women in the family. In the end, the hero crawls to die by his wife's side. The "sense of loyalty" of the initiator of the tragedy.
