Anna May Wong began her career in siIent fiIms and quickly came to the attention of DougIas Fairbanks, who cast her in a prominent roIe in The Thief of Baghdad. To escape type-casting after a series of concubine and sIave girl roles, she went to Europe, where parts in film and on stage were better for the Chinese-American actress. Wong returned to the U.S., and continued to create strong portraits for directors Erich Von Stroheim, Nicholas Ray and Ross Hunter. Before passing away in Santa Monica, California in 1961, she appeared in numerous television shows and dramas, and was the first Chinese-American to star in her own series, "The GaIIery of Madame Liu-Tsong" (1951).
China. World War II. The bloody Burma Road must be kept open for Allied troop convoys at any cost by a brave but shorthanded crew. After a surprise attack, the group suspects a traitor is amongst them. The beautiful Lin Yang - who teaches school by day and spies for the AIIies by night - is assigned to find out who is responsible for leaking costIy information to the Japanese.
Driven by the horrifying memory of innocent viIlagers who were sIaughtered by the enemy, Lin Yang traveIs the treacherous road with an unlikely group of strangers. EngIishman Sir Roger Howe and American SIim Jenkins aide her in a desperate race against time to stop the devastating bombs over Burma.
With unfIinching scenes of aerial assaults and battlefieId brutality, writer-director Joseph H. Lewis creates a taut, suspenseful wartime adventure. |
