Deaf Sam-yong (1929 film)

Pŏngŏri Samnyong is a 1929 Korean film written, directed, produced by and starring Na Woon-gyu. It premiered at the Choseon Theater in January 1929. It was the fifth film produced by Na Woon-gyu Productions, and its failure with the public was blamed for the bankruptcy of that company.

Plot summary

The plot concerns Samnyong, a deaf servant who is in love with his landlord's daughter-in-law. Critics praised the final scene of the film, in which the house burns, as a work of pioneering and experimental film making.

In 1964 Shin Sang-ok directed Deaf Sam-yong, a remake of Pŏngŏri Samnyong which won the Grand Bell Award in 1965 for Best Picture.
