You got:
Bai2 Fa3 Mo2 Nu:3 Chuan2

Accoording to my information
- it should be Fa4
- zhuan4 (meaning biography) seems to be more likely.

BTW: I don't know if any of the pinyin corrections I propose, has consequences for the Cantonese transcriptions as well.

In most two character words = chuan2, but when it means; biography, strory, etc. it can be Zhuan4.

Our dictionary gives as an example "The water margin", there (and in all other movies with 水滸傳) it is Zhuan4. A big5 title-search on will give you a lot of titles that need to be checked.
