A young woman, Poppy, out for excitement in Shanghai, enters a gambling house owned by "Mother" Gin Sling, a dragon-lady who worked herself up from poverty to buy the casino. Sir Guy Charteris, wealthy entrepreneur, has purchased a large area of Shanghai, forcing Gin Sling to vacate by the coming Chinese New Year. Under orders from Gin Sling, who has found out Poppy is Charteris' daughter, the smarmy Doctor Omar leads Poppy deeper and deeper into an addiction to gambling and alcohol. Gin Sling, realizing that Charteris was her long-ago husband who she thinks abandoned her, plans her revenge by inviting Charteris to a Chinese New Year dinner party to expose his past indiscretions. Charteris, however, has a suprise of his own to spring on Gin Sling.
Viewer Reviews
I hate to say it but this was lackluster dull and boring. A total waste of a great cast which included Walter Huston, Gene Tierney and Victor Mature.I like all 3, but this movie just didnt do it for me.To me it seemed like the entire movie was in an underground Asian casino, with Victor Mature was just lounging or hanging around. Walter Huston was a big wig that just didnt have enough spark. Gene Tierney was ok in this, but again, this was nothing special. I couldn't get into this one. The DVD print was like Alpha video, maybe a little bit better. Very un-entertaining I'm sorry to say.
