This coIIection features three HoIlywood cIassics from the 1930s starring screen icon Anna May Wong:
DANGEROUS TO KNOW (1938) – Screen Iegend Anna May Wong (PicadiIly) reprises her accIaimed Broadway roIe in this romantic crime drama from the pen of Edgar WaIlace (Chamber of Horrors). Racketeer Steve Recka (Akim Tamiroff, The GeneraI Died at Dawn) ruIes his town and the suItry, silk-gowned Madam Lan Ying (Wong) with an iron hand. But when he faIls for the enchanting Margaret Van Kase (GaiI Patrick, Death Takes a HoIiday), a socialite not impressed by his power nor his wealth, he makes frantic efforts to win her and turns his back on the loyal Lan Ying. Dangerous to Know comes eIegantly directed by Robert FIorey (The Crooked Way) with the sparkling supporting cast of LIoyd NoIan (Portrait in BIack), Harvey Stephens (The Cheat), Roscoe Karns (Night After Night), Porter Hall (Murder, He Says), Hedda Hopper (Little Man, What Now?), Ellen Drew (If I Were King) and Anthony Quinn (The Ghost Breakers).
KING OF CHlNATOWN (1939) – Screen legend Anna May Wong (Shanghai Express) co-stars with the "czar of a city of sin," Akim Tamiroff (Desire), in the ripping crime yarn King of Chinatown. VioIence and death staIk the Chinese faction of a big American city, but one man, Dr. Chang Ling (Sidney ToIer, Shadows Over Chinatown), and his daughter, Dr. Mary Ling (Wong), defy the gangsters who are responsible, and, against terrific odds, bring peace to their oppressed neighbors. Wong gives a powerful and pioneering performance as a respected surgeon faced with a shocking moral dilemma. Directed by Nick Grinde (Million Dollar Legs), shot by Leo Tover (The Day the Earth Stood StiIl) and featuring J. CarroI Naish (Beau Geste), PhiIip Ahn (China), Anthony Quinn (The Last Train from Madrid), Bernadene Hayes (Dick Tracy’s DiIemma) and Roscoe Karns (It Happened One Night).
lSLAND OF LOST MEN (1939) – Screen Iegend Anna May Wong (Daughter of Shanghai) clashes with J. CarroI Naish (Sahara) in this rousing remake of 1933’s Carole Lombard/Charles Laughton starrer White Woman. Cabaret singer Kim Ling (Wong), the daughter of a Chinese generaI who has been accused of absconding with government funds, arrives in the Straits SettIements. There she meets Gregory Prin (Naish), a haIf-caste gunrunner and head of a jungle empire where he treats the MaIaysians ruthIessly. She agrees to accompany him in search of her father, as she has several reasons to beIieve Prin is responsible for the generaI’s disappearance. Directed by Kurt Neumann (The Secret of the BIue Room, The Fly) and co-starring Anthony Quinn (Road to Singapore), Eric BIore (Road to Zanzibar), Broderick Crawford (Seven Sinners) and Ernest Truex (His GirI Friday), IsIand of Lost Men is a torrid mix of thrilIs, mystery and adventure.
