高立(Kao Li),1924年10月5日在南京出生,師範學院畢業,在內地做過小學教師和公務員,抗戰時期加入話劇團,隨團走遍大江南北,累積了舞台經驗,對戲劇節奏與場面調度亦早有體會。1951年他加入電影圈任場記,其後追隨名導演李翰祥學師:先在《雪裡紅》(1956)任場記,繼而在多部李氏作品中當助導,包括邵氏父子有限公司的《黃花閨女》(1957)、《春光無限好》(1957),以及邵氏兄弟(香港)有限公司的《江山美人》(1959)、《後門》(1960)、《楊貴妃》(1962)、《武則天》(1963)、《王昭君》(1964)等名作。他又曾為李翰祥執導的《移花接木》(1957)和《貂蟬》(1958)編寫劇本,後者獲第5屆亞洲電影節最佳編劇獎,令他開始嶄露頭角。1961年,他與李翰祥合導《手槍》,正式坐上導演位,頗獲好評;接著再執導黃梅調片《鳳還巢》(1963)。1965年他執導的黃梅調片《魚美人》由張徹編劇、凌波反串書生張珍、李菁一人分飾碧波仙子與金牡丹,把歌舞場面與戲劇衝突融為一體,更令李菁奪得第12屆亞洲電影節最佳女主角,成為高立最為人記得的作品。他其他作品還有《宋宮秘史》(1965)、《女秀才》(1966)、《魂斷奈何天》(1966)、《儒俠》(1967)與《新陳三五娘》(1967)等,題材多為古裝、宮闈與黃梅調。六十年代末他一度離開邵氏轉投國泰機構(香港)(1965)有限公司,拍出《玉龍吟》(1968)、《亡命八傑》(1969)、《嘉嘉》(1969)等片;1970年重返邵氏,拍了《怕老婆是大丈夫》(1971)、《多謝老闆娘》(1972)、《我們要洞房》(1972)等,並曾協助李翰祥拍攝《傾國傾城》(1975)。其後他離開電影圈轉而經商,1983年8月17日在香港病逝。他擅長在歌唱場面與戲劇張力之間取得平衡,場面調度工整,是邵氏片廠制度下典型的全能型導演。

Kao Li was born in Nanjing on 5 October 1924. He graduated from a teachers' college and worked as a primary-school teacher and a civil servant on the mainland, joining a drama troupe during the war and touring widely, which gave him early experience of stage rhythm and staging. He entered the film industry as a continuity clerk in 1951 and learned his craft under the celebrated director Li Han-hsiang, first as continuity clerk on Red Bloom in the Snow (1956) and then as assistant director on many of Li's films, including The Girl Next Door (1957) and Springtime Unlimited (1957) for Shaw and Sons, and The Kingdom and the Beauty (1959), Rear Entrance (1960), The Magnificent Concubine (1962), Empress Wu (1963) and Wang Zhaojun (1964) for Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Ltd. He also wrote scripts for Li's films The Transplanted Wife (1957) and Diao Chan (1958), the latter winning Best Screenplay at the 5th Asian Film Festival and bringing him his first recognition. In 1961 he co-directed The Pistol with Li Han-hsiang, making his debut behind the camera to good notices, followed by the Huangmei opera film The Phoenix Returns to Its Nest (1963). In 1965 he directed The Mermaid, written by Chang Cheh, with Ivy Ling Po playing the scholar in male disguise and Li Ching in a double role, fusing song and dramatic conflict so well that Li Ching won Best Actress at the 12th Asian Film Festival; it remains his best-known work. Other films include Song of the Palace (1965), The Female Scholar (1966), The Unfading Blossom (1966), The Jade-faced Assassin (1967) and a new version of Chen San and Wu Niang (1967), mostly in the period, palace and Huangmei genres. He briefly left Shaw for Cathay in the late 1960s, making films such as The Dragon's Den (1968), then returned to Shaw in 1970, directing such pictures as Henpecked Husbands Are Great (1971) and helping Li Han-hsiang on The Last Tempest (1975). He later left film for business and died in Hong Kong on 17 August 1983.
