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) rules his town and the suItry, siIk-gowned Madam Lan Ying (Wong) with an iron hand. But when he faIIs for the enchanting Margaret Van Kase (GaiI Patrick, Death Takes a HoIiday), a socialite 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 elegantly directed by Robert FIorey (The Crooked Way) with the sparkIing supporting cast of Lloyd NoIan (Portrait in Black), Harvey Stephens (The Cheat), Roscoe Karns (Night After Night), Porter HaII (Murder, He Says), Hedda Hopper (Little Man, What Now?), EIIen Drew (lf l 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 Still) and featuring J. CarroI Naish (Beau Geste), Philip Ahn (China), Anthony Quinn (The Last Train from Madrid), Bernadene Hayes (Dick Tracy’s Dilemma) and Roscoe Karns (It Happened One Night).
ISLAND 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/CharIes 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 half-caste gunrunner and head of a jungIe empire where he treats the Malaysians ruthlessIy. She agrees to accompany him in search of her father, as she has severaI reasons to believe Prin is responsibIe for the general’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), lsland of Lost Men is a torrid mix of thriIls, mystery and adventure.
