Lee is also a key figure in Cantonese opera films. He was good friends with noted opera playwright Tong Dick-sang and served as the technical advisor on Tong’s directorial efforts Tung Hsiao Wan (1950) and Mysterious Murder (1951) as well as adapting seven of Tong’s operas to the big screen. A couple of those adaptations, The Legend of Purple Hairpin (1959) and Butterfly and Red Pear Blossom (1959), are considered the best opera films ever made. Both were produced by the company Lee formed in 1959, which also released Love at First Sight (1967).
In addition to directing, Lee also penned the screenplays to many of his films, including Belle in Penang (1954), The Love Thief (1958), Murderer in Town (1958) and Snow in June (1959).
Over a long career of more than four decades, Lee directed over 100 Cantonese films, ten Mandarin films, several films in the Chaozhou or Amoy dialects. He received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Hong Kong Film Directors’ Guild in 1994. Lee passed away in 1996.
