Paying Nocturnal Sacrifice to Kam-kiu originates from a solo Cantonese operatic song recorded by Yam Kim-fai in 1952, which tells a tragic love story between a rich young man in love with a courtesan based on a true story in Guangzhou. Adapted to the silver screen by director Chan Pei, Yam is the young noble Poon who falls head over heels over the courtesan Kam-kiu played by Tang Bik-wan. Against his own wish, Poon is forced by his father to marry Ng (Law Yim-hing) instead. When Poon continues to have rendezvous with Kam-kiu, his father persuades Kam-kiu to end the illicit affair. Yam's layered character remains dedicated to Kam-kiu while being harsh with Ng, and Tang is a dazzling beauty dressed in an assortment of stylish Little Phoenix dresses featuring three quarter sleeve jackets with slim waist and A-line skirt. Good friends in real life, Yam and Tang co-starred in nearly 28 films with this film being the earliest musical still extant featuring the duo as the male and female leads.
