Review of Shanghai Express (1932) by Robert Herring for The Guardian — 09 Jun 1981
This melodrama the director weakens by mistaking postponement of event for suspense. But the film has compensating strength in the star, who photographs more beautifully than before and, though she is acted off the screen by Anna May Wong, shows herself unique in Hollywood by being majestically beautiful.
