This film was made in the UK in 1929, directed by E A Dupont. Starring the dazzling Anna May Wong, it’s based on a screenplay by Arnold Bennet and shot on location (including the old Chinatown of Limehouse). This little known thriller has recently been beautifully restored by the BFI. The film will be accompanied by a short introduction  by Dr. John Seed on how the film portrays Anglo-Chinese relations in the London of the 1920s.
