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, so mysterious, arrogant, wronged, sad, playful, stubborn... It
seems that Dietrich is placed in a photographic scene . The shed changes the scene, the shape, and the character, but in the end, it is all beautiful. Therefore, every close-up of Dietrich in the film resembles a classical photograph.
In addition, the most interesting thing is Steinberg's use of props in the scene. The windows and curtains in the train open and close like a conjuration, and people are also covered up and down. A simple design, just Make your videos different.
Although, this story now seems to be a bit unsatisfactory.

Shanghai Express quotes

  • Sam Salt: I can't make head or tail out of you, Mr. Chang. Are you Chinese or are you white, or what are ya?

    Mr. Henry Chang: My mother was Chinese. My father was white.

    Sam Salt: You look more like a white man to me.

    Mr. Henry Chang: I'm not proud of my white blood.

    Sam Salt: Oh you're not, are ya?

    Mr. Henry Chang: No, I'm not.

    Sam Salt: Rather be a Chinaman, huh?

    Mr. Henry Chang: Yes.

    Sam Salt: What future is there being a Chinaman? You're born, eat your way through a handful of rice, and you die. What a country! Let's have a drink.

  • Shanghai Lily: Do you want to be alone, Doctor?

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: No, it's quite all right. I was just going to turn in, anyway.

    Shanghai Lily: Don't let me detain you. I thought it was quite early. What time is it?

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Nine-thirty.

    Shanghai Lily: You still have the watch I gave you, Donald.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I was afraid you'd notice it.

    Shanghai Lily: I had long hair then.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I remember quite well.

    Shanghai Lily: Do you expect to stay in Shanghai a while?

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I think so.

    Shanghai Lily: Then we ought to see a lot of each other.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Perhaps.

    Shanghai Lily: What have you been doing, Donald, since I saw you last?

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Nothing much. Mostly service routine. Couple of years in India after our smashup. Then I went back to England for a while. Then I was assigned to a scientific expedition in Manchuria.

    Shanghai Lily: Sounds as if you had been rather lonesome, Doc.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I can't say I was very lonesome. It was an active life, full of interest and excitement.

    Shanghai Lily: I suppose you mean women.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: It was difficult to find someone to take your place.

    Shanghai Lily: Did you try very hard?

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: Not particularly. I didn't want to be hurt again.

    Shanghai Lily: Always a bit selfish, Doc, thinking of your own hurt.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I can't accept your reproach. I was the only one hurt.

    Shanghai Lily: You left me without a word, purely because I indulged in a women's trick to make you jealous. I wanted to be certain that you loved me. Instead, I lost you. I suffered quite a bit, and I probably deserved it.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I was a fool to let you go out of my life.

    [They kiss]

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I wish you could tell me there'd been no other men.

    Shanghai Lily: I wish I could, Doc, but five years in China is a long time.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: I wish I had 'em back.

    Shanghai Lily: What would you have done with them? There's a scheme of things. Sooner or later, we would've parted anyway. And we might never have met again.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: We wouldn't have parted, Madeline. We'd have gone back to England, married, and been very happy. There are a lot of things I wouldn't have done if I had those five years to live over again.

    Shanghai Lily: There's only one thing I wouldn't have done, Doc.

    Captain Donald 'Doc' Harvey: What, for instance?

    Shanghai Lily: I wouldn't have bobbed my hair. Good night, Donald.
