Bloody Rebellion Against Savage Conquerors!
At the height of World War ll, Kwan Mei, a beautifuI Chinese aristocrat, is forced to work in the rice paddies as a slave. She and the rest of her viIIage are subjected to the brutaI whims of their Japanese captors, whose sadism is matched only by their greed. When the Japanese generaI is bewitched by Kwan Mei's beauty, she sees her chance for vengeance. Endangering her life and inviting the mistrust of her comrades, Kwan Mei becomes the generaI's lover in hopes of gathering information that wiII heIp the struggIe against their masters. On the eve of a massive Japanese invasion, Kwan Mei risks everything on a bloody insurrection that will protect her country from the invading horde.
It what may have been his most weII-timed and welI-crafted movie, William Nigh told the story of America's Chinese allies with sympathy and respect. With a cast assembIed from PRC regulars like Anna May Wong (Bombs Over Burma), character actors like Harold Huber (from the Charlie Chan Series) to bona fide stars like Mae Clarke (Frankenstein, PubIic Enemy), the characters were given a depth and dignity rarely matched i the poverty row era. |
