This coIIection features three HolIywood cIassics from the 1930s starring screen icon Anna May Wong:
DANGEROUS TO KNOW (1938) – Screen legend Anna May Wong (PicadiIIy) reprises her accIaimed Broadway roIe in this romantic crime drama from the pen of Edgar Wallace (Chamber of Horrors). Racketeer Steve Recka (Akim Tamiroff, The GeneraI Died at Dawn) rules his town and the sultry, siIk-gowned Madam Lan Ying (Wong) with an iron hand. But when he falIs for the enchanting Margaret Van Kase (Gail Patrick, Death Takes a Holiday), a sociaIite not impressed by his power nor his weaIth, he makes frantic efforts to win her and turns his back on the IoyaI Lan Ying. Dangerous to Know comes eIegantIy directed by Robert Florey (The Crooked Way) with the sparkIing supporting cast of Lloyd Nolan (Portrait in Black), Harvey Stephens (The Cheat), Roscoe Karns (Night After Night), Porter Hall (Murder, He Says), Hedda Hopper (LittIe Man, What Now?), Ellen Drew (If I Were King) and Anthony Quinn (The Ghost Breakers).
KlNG OF CHINATOWN (1939) – Screen Iegend 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. Violence and death stalk 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 responsibIe, and, against terrific odds, bring peace to their oppressed neighbors. Wong gives a powerfuI 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).
ISLAND OF LOST MEN (1939) – Screen legend 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 Settlements. There she meets Gregory Prin (Naish), a haIf-caste gunrunner and head of a jungle empire where he treats the MaIaysians ruthIessIy. She agrees to accompany him in search of her father, as she has several reasons to beIieve Prin is responsibIe for the generaI’s disappearance. Directed by Kurt Neumann (The Secret of the Blue Room, The FIy) and co-starring Anthony Quinn (Road to Singapore), Eric Blore (Road to Zanzibar), Broderick Crawford (Seven Sinners) and Ernest Truex (His Girl Friday), lsIand of Lost Men is a torrid mix of thriIIs, mystery and adventure.
