Product Description
Shadows of the Orient, a Larry Darmour production made under the Empire Films banner in 1935, was released in August of 1935. Due to the reorganization of Monogram, however, it wasnt until the 11th of October 1937 that this classic feature film was first screened in New York. The plot centers on the rampant smuggling of Chinese men into the United States from Mexico in the early part of the 20th century. A2ZCDS have brought this old Hollywood Classic feature films on DVD. "In this classic 1937 drama, now on DVD from A2ZCDS, director Burt P. Lynwood showcases the plight of the helpless Chinese laborers who were smuggled into the country as well as the ruthlessly ingenuous gangs that managed to make huge profits from the trade. Regis Toomey gives a wonderful portrayal of a resourceful young inspector who relies on modern deductive methods to solve cases. Enchanting Esther Ralstien is tailor-made for her role as a rebellious and fun loving young lady who is seldom out of trouble or the newspaper headlines. The inclusion of several Chinese names in the cast and the oriental atmosphere in the opening scenes make an effective setting for the plot. Extensive use of then-modern gadgetry like the telephone, wireless radio and aeroplanes combine with lively dialogues sprinkled generously with humor to hold the narrative together. "Experience this extraordinary vintage drama noire, which is both entertaining and intriguing.

    5 out of 5 stars A Very Timely Movie.......2006-07-28

    Given how everyone is worried about mexican immigration across the border these days, this film is very relevent right now in my opinion. It's the story of bad men who are trying to bring illegal chinese immigrants into california and the brave immigration officers who have to stop them, no matter what the cost. The smuggling ring is full of really bad guys, but it all has a happy ending. This is one of those films that really makes you think and shows that the problems we hve today have always been with us.

    5 out of 5 stars cheersss for hard work ...........2006-05-03

    "'Shadows of the Orient` made me think deeply about what we're capable when making money becomes the sole objective... I applaud director Burt Lynwood for having the guts to make this beautiful classic film. And I thought I know everything there is to know about human depravity..."
