Shanghai Express

 

USA 1932, 84 minutes
Dir. Josef von Sternberg
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Classics, Drama

 

Aroview: Hollywood's version of pre-revolutionary Shanghai is a lavish parallel universe of sin and oriental treachery with Marlene Dietrich (as Shanghai Lily) at its centre. Ostensibly a thriller, this is equally notable for its rich atmosphere and the unforgettably shrewd, hard-boiled dialogue.
