This movie is beautifully photographed, and Von Sternberg's care in highlighting Marlene Dietrich (as the infamous Shanghai Lily) is evident in almost every frame. I would recommend that any film buff watch this movie at least once, but with the caveat that it is NOT a very good movie apart from the cinematography.
Clive Brook's Captain Harvey makes you want to strangle him!
Some movie fans might appreciate seeing Charlie Chan star Warner Oland.
