Shadows of the Orient (1935)

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to work at the greatest arts and entertainment company? This documentary film gives us a look at the people who make the magic.

The fun tricks used in the production design and lighting read extremely well on-screen but hardly fulfill their purpose of trying to inject glamour into a lack-luster story with nothing to say. 

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
