Daughter of Shanghai

Anna May Wong and Charles Bickford make this human-trafficking film work very well. There is a shocking scene at the very beginning of the film where a load of illegals are just dumped into the ocean to avoid legal problems with the air patrol. Anthony Quinn, in an early role, does the dumping. Philip Ahn, the Master in the Kung Fu series with David Carradine, plays an undercover cop, and Wong has her own agenda to take down the notorious human traffickers. An entertaining film from beginning to end.
