Not to be Confused with the Boris Karloff "Wong" Detective Monogram Series.
This is a Tuff-Going bit of Yellow-Peril with an Overload of Dated Date-Humor,
Very Limited Sets and Surroundings, with the "Chinese" Players all around 6' Tall.
Bela Lugosi's Hungarian Accent is on Full-Throated Display, and about 1-10 Words Reach the Ear with Clarity or Understanding.
It'a a Typical Talkie Low-Budget Affair with a Dull Display of Chinatown, or for that Matter, most Scenes are Droll and Unremarkable.
The Movie Tries to Up its "Pulp-Magazine" Sensibilities and Reason for Being in the Last Act.
With a Claustrophobic Torture Chamber and "Women in Peril" Lurid Sensationalism.
But it's Too Little Too Late.
Lugosi Fans will be Disappointed, but will Watch Anyway.
Below Average even for Monogram.
Speaking of Monogram...
A High-Light is the Really-Cool Monogram Title Opening.
It's Art-Deco Snazzy.
