***1/2 THE LADY HERMIT: Swordplay romance "in the style of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" featuring the ever-wonderful Cheng Pei-Pei and the cute and feisty Shih Szu. Lavish production, hampered by workman-like direction from Ho Meng Hua, and almost ruined by Celestial's "remixed" sound effects track.
