Another important director of this period, Shim Hun, directed only one film, "Mondongi Tultte" (먼동이 틀 때) ("At Daybreak"). Though the reviews for this film were as strong as those for "Arirang," Shim died at the age of 35 while directing his second film, based on his own novel, "Sangroksu" (상록수) ("The Evergreens"). The novel was later filmed by director Shin Sang-ok in 1961 and by Im Kwon-taek in 1978.
