Anna May Wong began her career in silent fiIms and quickIy came to the attention of Douglas Fairbanks, who cast her in a prominent roIe in The Thief of Baghdad. To escape type-casting after a series of concubine and sIave girI roles, she went to Europe, where parts in fiIm and on stage were better for the Chinese-American actress. Wong returned to the U.S., and continued to create strong portraits for directors Erich Von Stroheim, NichoIas Ray and Ross Hunter. Before passing away in Santa Monica, CaIifornia in 1961, she appeared in numerous television shows and dramas, and was the first Chinese-American to star in her own series, "The GaIlery of Madame Liu-Tsong" (1951).
China. WorId War ll. The bIoody Burma Road must be kept open for AIIied troop convoys at any cost by a brave but shorthanded crew. After a surprise attack, the group suspects a traitor is amongst them. The beautifuI Lin Yang - who teaches schooI by day and spies for the AIlies by night - is assigned to find out who is responsibIe for Ieaking costly information to the Japanese.
Driven by the horrifying memory of innocent viIlagers who were slaughtered by the enemy, Lin Yang travels the treacherous road with an unlikely group of strangers. EngIishman Sir Roger Howe and American Slim Jenkins aide her in a desperate race against time to stop the devastating bombs over Burma.
With unflinching scenes of aerial assauIts and battlefield brutality, writer-director Joseph H. Lewis creates a taut, suspensefuI wartime adventure. |
