    If you want to talk about it, it's too long to be separated for five years. The train shook so violently that the cigarette could hardly be caught between the fingers. Shanghai Lily, why don't we start...

    There are still traces of the transition from silent films to sound films (audio-visual means, dialogue rhythm, etc.), and the photography is soft and beautiful, but this story is indeed relatively small, especially compared with Sternberg's works in his early...

    Too ugly to provoke, the plot is ridiculous. The story takes place in the north, but the Chinese people in it all have an accent similar to Cantonese on the west bank of the Pearl River. The image of the warlord villain played by Oland (I don't know if there is a yellow face) is like a fat version of Fu Manchu. It seems that the two-stroked beard is standard for the stereotyped image of "Chinaman". It's probably as uncomfortable to watch as an Arab is to see Anthony Quinn as an Arab, the...

    How did she manage to change into N evening dresses with so little luggage on the train? If the plot was set in a completely fictional country, it would still be quite an "exotic" romance. As for the appearance of camels transporting goods at Beijing Railway Station, the whole of China speaks Cantonese with a strange accent... It fits the setting of a fictional...

    7 points, considering that this film is too old, and it is in the exploration period of sound film, I can give this film a 7 point, but this film is not a very good-looking film, the plot is a bit thin, the first half It's a bit boring, but the second half of the film is still interesting, but the plot of the movie is still a bit unsustainable, but as a film in the groping period, the performance of this film is not bad, in fact, many movies of the same year are There is no soundtrack at all....

    I've covered every little highway. And I've been climbing every hill. I've been looking high, and I've been looking low, looking for my Shanghai Lil. I learned to love her. The little devil was just a butterfly. But you discover something on the level, shining in her...

    Ma Lin is 31, young, looking around and looking like Leslie. The emotional interaction of the death of an old lover is so interesting. The Chinese warlords are of mixed blood, so it finally makes sense for the Americans to act. Anna May Wong is so cool! The rapist must die, no...

    ruthless bitch

          The prostitute Shanghai Lily in the film does not hesitate to dedicate herself to a small warlord for her old lover. In reality, countless women dedicate themselves to many men for their men. Don't you mean bitches are ruthless?
         Mr. Liang Yuchun said: The most lovely women are the...

    looks beautiful

    Marlene Dietrich under Steinberg's lens is the most beautiful. There is no lack of sexy and glamorous in classics. Even at the moment when love blooms, she is proud. This film seems to have become Dietrich's personal show, with different costumes and different accessories, taking turns in battle,...
