PUNQ

Rated 02 Mar 2023

Sure there are issues with modern eyes, but take it as a bad taste comedy and you'll be good. The moral antidotes they squeeze out at the end there had me in stitches. Anyway, a story of a sweet Asian girl and her cultural troubles, which was popular exotic theme in Hollywood at the time. Constance Talmadge plays the Chinese girl, and is quite charming. While for the most part corny, it was a spirited attempt at a Asian story, and much more entertaining than the sound remake that came in 1930.
