Review of Daughter of the Dragon (1931) by Steve G — 19 Sep 2008

Pretty straightforward Orientalist B-movie with vengance, poisons, secret passages, etc. Excellent cinematography and great sets, especially Ling Moy's house and the yard between her house and the Petrie's.

I agree with the previous poster that Sessue Hayakawa's character should have been spun off into his own series. Something I never seen in a movie: Hayakawa wakes up after a clout on the head and is actually totally scrambled and discombobulated.

(But this was pre-Code after all.).
