Subject: Absolutely Cool. Action Pure!!
No really people
one has to appreciate how the film industry evolved to what it is today.
They where still practically making silent films.
Please, it was 1931
don't compare the storyboard and technique to today's quality.
SIMPLY ENJOY NOSTALGIC

Could be more boring; nah, just joking.
It couldn't.
Could be slower though; well, not really.
Come to think about it, there's nothing I like about this film.

Not only is the lead character not asian she can't even imitate the asian stereotypes of the day.. Plot concerning dagger with jewels inside is elementary dime novel stuff. Could be pre noir, but actually just poor lighting. Even white imperialist saviors are undeveloped. Makes you almost long for Sax Rohmer/ "Many men bite = but Fu Manchu"
