Liked it!

I liked it. I thought that it was a pretty decent B-movie for its time. I have one question that maybe someone can answer, though. I thought that I heard "I'll Never Smile Again" playing throughout the soundtrack but, while looking it up, saw that that song wasn't written until 1940. Am I mistaken?

Trivia
No record of the publication of the novel "A Passage to China" has been found.

Goofs
After firing a large machine gun one of the actors holds the barrel in his bare hand which would be impossible as the barrel would be almost red hot. Machine gun crews need to change out barrels after firing so many rounds using thick gloves to allow the barrels to cool to avoid distortion.

Quotes
Natascha: But you have a cabin.
Chauncey Carson: Oh, so that's the... the proposition.
Natascha: Yes.
Chauncey Carson: Uh, how about a little something on account?
Natascha: I"m accustomed to credit.
Chauncey Carson: Not in China. They give dames away with cigarette coupons over here.
Natascha: Very well. Place your own value on me.
