thunder in the east

Although it deals with two battles against the Russians ,the name of the enemy is never mentioned.

It was the first time Annabella had been made up to portray an exotic beauty ; in Duvivier's "la bandeira " she became an African girl ;she's more credible as a Japanese marquise ,as Boyer's husband is .But for the French audience it verges on ludicrous yet.

An exotic melodrama, with the classic love triangle : the husband is a hypocrit ,who pretends to make friends with his potential rival ,but actually wants to know the British military secrets , while flattering him ;his wife will be a pawn in his game, although he'll feel sorry for that.

The war scenes are spectacular for the thirties.
