Daughter of the Dragon (Corrigan, 1931): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 6.20pm
This 35mm screening (also being shown on September 13th) is part of the Anna May Wong season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.
BFI introduction:
A rare collaboration between Anna May Wong and silent-era matinee idol
Sessue Hayakawa, Daughter of the Dragon is an intriguing cross between
the popular Fu Manchu and Charlie Chan film series. Paramount exploited
Wong’s fame in Europe, making her newly acquired British accent a
selling point in this early sound horror, which was released in the same
year as Dracula and Frankenstein.
