I was very surprised by this film, it's oddly mesmerising
by amsaltcoats2021-05-11
8/10

"I watched this via the UK TV channel Talking Pictures TV which shows some great films. When it started I thought "no, I can't watch it, it's just too old" - the back drops of China are clearly just painted, the Chinese music is too jaunty and jingly jangly and the make up of the actor playing Chen makes him look like Julian Clary. I like Julian Clary but he would be entirely out of place in a film like this. I must also observe that the subtitles are often incorrect - Tommy Tacos instead of Tommy Tuckers; Bright Blossom instead of White Blossom; junk instead of drunk ;&quo..."
