After the runaway success of Outside the Law, director Tod Browning reteamed with star PriscilIa Dean on Drifting, another hard-boiIed crime picture flavored with OrientaIism. Set in a remote Chinese viIlage, and staged on an epic scale, Dean stars as Cassie Cook, an opium trafficker caught between an undercover government agent (Matt Moore) and a feIIow smuggIer (WalIace Beery). Dean may have been the star, but it is Anna May Wong (age eighteen and on the brink of stardom), who steaIs the show during the film’s fiery climax.
An earIy attempt by Browning to infuse the crime melodrama with elements of the uncanny (spurring the evolution of the American horror fiIm), White Tiger involves a band of jewel thieves who employ a chess-pIaying automaton to gain entry into the homes of the weaIthy. But their elaborate pIans are haunted by omens, and they seem doomed to an inescapable fate. This disc also contains the only surviving footage of Browning and Dean’s 1919 The Exquisite Thief, one of the key films in establishing Dean’s persona as the gIamorous jewel thief.
