I’ve never read a Pearl Buck novel but I can just imagined them being beloved by book clubs and sold in those musty hardcovers you find at grandmother’s houses and second hand book dealers. This is about a young Chinese who wants to join Chiang Kai-Shek’s revolutionaries and who falls in love with a Japanese. There’s the novelty of hearing Orson Welles play a Chinese (he does it soft spoken and diligent) but it gets very boring. Anna May Wong is among the cast and Pearl Buck is interviewed.
