The censors crossed out so much of her material even in the pre-Code period that by the time a final script was approved she and director/mentor Joseph von Sternberg had little interest in making the film. They came through though with a brilliant odyssey highlighted by Dietrich in many moods all behind heavy diffusion.</p><p>Here is Dietrich as the down-and-out vagrant Helen Faraday with Sidney Toler as the detective on her trail.

Though Wong received third billing behind Marlene Dietrich and Clive Brook her portrayal of Hui Fei is universally regarded as a masterclass in acting. Hui Fei is a fiercely independent woman navigating a train ride from Peking to Shanghai during the Chinese Civil War which is hijacked by rebel forces. Her performance often overshadowed Dietrich's. Unfortunately she would not be cast in another role as complex as this. Wikipedia</p><p>Photo coded P671-245.</p> Paramount
