Delayed US Release For French Version of 1904 War Story

Port Arthur the Russian town where the story is set is the original title for this 1936 multiple language production shot in Czechoslovakia.It took five years for a US release of the French version, there was also a German version with a slightly different cast and a Czech version where the German performers were dubbed. Danielle Darrieux is the Eurasian bride of Russian ship officer Walbrook and because her brother is a full Japanese she is suspected of espionage during the war between the two countries.There is some nice use of camera movement by director Farkas who had been a cinematographer and some impressive battle footage. The climax is a powerful one, if you recall how that war turned out.
