Review of The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1932) by Courtney S — 06 Oct 2007
Prone to preachiness and creakiness, with a strange, downbeat ending, it's more of a curio than a key film in the Capra filmography. Still, individual scenes offer an early demonstration of the leading lady's tenacity, and you can always admire Asther's skilful, subtle tightrope-walking in a role that could easily have slipped into stereotype.
