The big scene in Shanghai in the 1940s

Went to see it on my wife's birthday. By the time I came out of the bathroom, my wife had already chosen this movie and bought a ticket. I don't like this kind of subject, and my expectations are very low. Maybe it's because of low expectations, but it looks okay. Not as bad as others have rated it. The story, plot, etc. were about as bad as expected. But at least the scenes are okay, especially compared to other spy movies. Every time I see a movie showing Shanghai in the 1940s, there are always a few scenes that show Shanghai's extravagant nightlife. When the picture appears in a nightclub, it is always the song (who told me what song it was?). This movie is no exception. Don't seriously study the World War II perspective of the movie's performance, it's just a movie.
