Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsNancy Wang Yuen's statement that the Hays Office's Production Code prohibited actors of different races from playing husband/wife couples on film is incorrect. The 1934 Production Code of America clarified that the miscegenation clause forbid only relations between blacks and whites. The Production Code of 1934, Section II, Article 6 says "Miscegenation (sex relationships between the white and black races) is forbidden." The Production Code did not apply to Asians, Native Americans, or Mexicans.

Joseph McBride: There is a strange tradition in Hollywood films. Of course, when you look at golden Hollywood films, that's kind of a sign of our cultural imperialism that we play all parts.

Featured review
The Thin Red Whine
Nothing is more satisfying to a child than to correct an error by the one who says, "Brush your teeth" or "Finish your spinach," by pointing out that the capital of Illinois is Springfield, not Chicago. Now that we live in "a national household," it is time for left-liberals to point out that the USA did not live up to its founding principles for everyone at all times. They cannot say that the differences between peoples are so negligible that Orson Welles as Othello or Gale Sondergaard as Mrs. Hammond or Akim Tamiroff as Gen. Yang is as inoffensive as the characterization of Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi is odious, so much so that both the actor and director apologized. To throw another log on the fire, we are reminded of the unjust incarceration of Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor, irrelevant to a film about the occasional casting of European-American actors in Asian roles. Hopefully, a day will come when left-liberals can recognize our many similarities rather than harp on our petty differences.
