Mixed feelings about this film. On the plus side it was beautifully lit, composed and shot in stunning b/w...could have been done by James Wong Howe at his peak.
The story...of a prostitute working with the Japanese army in China during the war who falls in love with a young officer...was a good one.
But the problem was the wild over-acting we've seen in so many of the Eastern films. In this one it was so overdone it destroyed the credibility of the story.
Too bad. This guy showed some real talent.
