A London nightclub in the 20s is the setting for tantrums on the dance floor when a rival discovered in the kitchens threatens to oust the star turn. Chinatown provides the background for a tale of murder and ultimate courtroom drama. Stunning performances by Anna May Wong in this newly restored print.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Outstanding in every aspect to the minutest detail; Superb cinematic style, if rather un-PC morals for today; Period piece - a little slow by today's standards. Shame about the music; Good old fashioned drama, overacting galore. Wonderful; Suitable for an historical Society. The makers would, I believe, be incredulous that a film society could find anything more worthy to watch.
