Review of The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1932) by Dominic F — 23 Mar 2009
Considered a little risque at the time (a white woman falling for an oriental) when mixed race marriages were banned in the USA, it now still works on a certain level, the sets and acting of the two leads are splendid.
However, it is difficult to think Derek Malcolm chose this over It's A Wonderful Life, Lost Horizon, It Happened One Night, Mr Smith Goes To Washington and Mr Deeds Goes To Town as his favourite Frank Capra film.
