Description
Cast: Anna May Wong, Buster Crabbe, Charles Bickford
Anna May Wong, the only Asian-American leading lady of her era, stars as a fascinating young woman who breaks up the illegal alien smuggling gang that killed her father. The first half of this double feature of late 30s Paramount ‘B’ thrillers from the stylish European emigre Florey is a superb vehicle for the neglected Wong. Anthony Quinn co-stars. This program is part of Madison’s Asian-American Media Spotlight.
