Review of The Toll of the Sea (1923) by Michael T — 20 Aug 2009
A movie that will rip your heart out and stomp on it. Anna May Wong does a fantastic job as Lotus Flower and the pioneering use of color photography (in 1922 no less) gives it a unique feel. Altered somewhat from the Puccini opera on which it was based, but still heart-breaking.
Somehow the phrase, "he's just not that into you" doesn't seem to quite cut it.
