Editorial Reviews

Platform:  DVD MOVIE Publisher:  ALPHA VIDEO Packaging:  DVD STYLE BOX Anna May Wong began her career in silent films and quickly came to the attention of Douglas Fairbanks who cast her in a prominent role in The Thief of Baghdad. To escape type-casting after a series of concubine and slave girl roles she went to Europe where parts in film and on stage were better for the Chinese-American actress. Wong returned to the U.S. and continued to create strong portraits for directors Erich Von Stroheim Nicholas Ray and Ross Hunter. Before passing away in Santa Monica California in 1961 she appeared in numerous television shows and dramas and was the first Chinese-American to star in her own series "The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong" (1951). China. World War II. The bloody Burma Road must be kept open for Allied troop convoys at any cost by a brave but shorthanded crew. After a surprise attack the group suspects a traitor is amongst them. The beautiful Lin Yang - who teaches school by day and spies for the Allies by night - is assigned to find out who is responsible for leaking costly information to the Japanese. Driven by the horrifying memory of innocent villagers who were slaughtered by the enemy Lin Yang travels the treacherous road with an unlikely group of strangers. Englishman Sir Roger Howe and American Slim Jenkins aide her in a desperate race against time to stop the devastating bombs over Burma. With unflinching scenes of aerial assaults and battlefield brutality writer-director Joseph H. Lewis creates a taut suspenseful wartime adventure.Starring: Anna May Wong Leslie Denison & Nedrick YoungDirected by: Joseph H.

This review is from: Bombs Over Burma (DVD)

This is the worst movie tranfer to DVD that I had ever seen. It looks as if someone was in front of a TV with a video camera. I think the movie may of been widescreen because you can tell some things should be on the screen but isnt. It is nice to see Anna May Wong in a speaking role but its a shame they didnt put effort into the transfer to DVD
