the romance was cute—your typical two stubborn people who couldn't say what they really wanted to each other. marlene dietrich was so, so gorgeous (and i initially watched this for her), but anna may wong absolutely stole the show. there's racist undertone here about her character. it's unfortunate that her character was mostly a plot device, with everyone just calling her "the chinese girl". i almost forgetting her actual name. also, the fight scene was hilariously goofy.
