Anna May Wong- A Movie Star

Anna May Wong gives a poised and dignified starring performance that fully demonstrates a great but indefinable quality: screen presence. It is even more remarkable since this film has a grade-c level budget.

Harold Huber is miscast as a Japanese General (he often was miscast in his movie roles) but he does manage to subdue his usual tendency to shout dialog, and imbues his performance with the pompousness and ego that the character requires.

Ms. Wong is convincing as a leader of brave Chinese WWII resistance, a cause that was close to her international viewpoint and efforts at the time.

I would give a 10 star rating to Ms. Wong and maybe a 5 to the film itself. But I absolutely recommend that everyone view "Lady From Chungking" for Anna May Wong's performance. It is indisputably the performance of a true Movie Star.

Anecdotes
During World War II (when this film was made) Anna May Wong went out of her way to clarify that she was of Chinese heritage and not Japanese. This included regularly supporting and doing volunteer work for organizations raising funds for Chinese resistance to the Japanese invasion and domination of China.

Great Wall, yes, I see it each time I - I look at you, durable, lasting, as though you, like the Great Wall, have lived for centuries and will live on for centuries more. But it will not be so. The Great Wall shall crumble into dust! And from the dust will arise a new China.
