The modern city girl in pursuit of love represents one of three major personas embodied by Lin Dai (in addition to the village lass and historical beauty), and The Battle of Love is certainly one of the category's most memorable. The film is written by Eileen Chang, she of the lasting cult following, and is marked by sharp wit in both story and dialogues. Lin proves herself a remarkable comic actress, animating Chang's characterization with charm and charisma.
