The Shanghai Gesture
(1941)|
Madame Gin Sling (Ona Munson), the owner of a Shanghai vice den, blackmails an English financier (Walter Huston) with secrets about his beautiful daughter (Gene Tierney). The 1925 play was much altered to make a movie that could get by 1941 censors (who would have nixed the original's depictions of drug addiction and prostitution), but the film -- which received Oscar nominations for art direction and music -- was still daring for its day.
