Directed by
Frank Capra
USA 1933
Deliciously romantic melodrama - and unknown Capra territory - which has the great (and underrated) Stanwyck as Megan Davis, an American missionary who comes to wartorn Shanghai in the 30s and is kidnapped by a Chinese warlord. Coming across as a kind of raw, emotional The King and I (but without the whistling of happy tunes, thankfully), the film's narrative dips in and out of Stanwyck's strange dreams, where she is both attracted and repelled by the sophisticated General (Asther). A heady and sensual cocktail of drama and emotion and, in pre-Hollywood morality code times, a goodly amount of sexual tension.

| Comments: |
Firstly - a fascinating film that really captivated me. I am very high on this whole boxset - marvelous individual films in their own right. I found this transfer very acceptable considering the age of the film. There is perhaps a smattering of contrast boosting in some scenes but overall it is untouched. Lots of film grain is noticeable and Stanwyck glows onscreen looking as radiantly sexual as she ever has. The optional subtitles are quite poorly done on a black background overlapping the screen - but they are clearly visible and accurate to the dialogue. This is prime Pre-Code territory and a fabulously exotic and sensual film. |
