For the longest time I avoided Anna May Wong films because I thought she portrayed a stereotypical "dragon lady". I was on a Bryan Ferry kick and landed on this page purely by chance and learned quite a bit about Wong. The recorded version of Foolish Things is absolutely marvelous!poisonrougenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-64211130106717269122010-01-23T09:32:34.861+01:002010-01-23T09:32:34.861+01:00Don't stop posting such articles.

The guy gives me the creeps.<br />Still, lovely song, and excellently chosen clips. Don't think I've ever seen her in colour before. Nice job. <br /><br />Mykal - Yes, Shanghai Express and Piccadilly, obviously, but if I know you anything like as well as I think I do, I suspect you'll also get a kick out of Daughter of the Dragon - in which she plays the vengeful offspring of Warner Oland's Fu Manchu!Matthew Coniamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302989527514886503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-52673894339184256832009-08-12T17:04:27.773+02:002009-08-12T17:04:27.773+02:00Wonderful-- I'd never heard that sing before b...Wonderful-- I'd never heard that sing before but it really is lovely. :)Juliette.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02779055836350808401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-49779240073390584592009-08-12T15:33:31.601+02:002009-08-12T15:33:31.601+02:00Lolita: Can't find Shanghai Express easily in ...Lolita: Can't find <i>Shanghai Express</i> easily in Rregion 1, so I'll go with <i>Piccadilly</i> on DVD (I prefer to watch on TV rather than YouTube Computer). <br /><br />I have seen her in <i>The Thief of Baghadad</i> with Douglas Fairbank.

Yes, most versions of the song skip a few lines (and Crosby of course skips the "The song that Crosby sings" line).<br /><br />Radiation Cinema:<br />Thank you so much! When it comes to Anna May Wong I'd recommend starting with Shanghai Express (1932), she's really cool in that one. The most praised picture she starred in is probably Piccadilly (1929), made in England. That one is available to see on YouTube (in HQ too):<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AagRV7CpVCM&feature=PlayList&p=6A3222AEA0E78927&index=0Lolita of the Classicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596876234508882958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-51638151274753356642009-08-12T14:50:15.694+02:002009-08-12T14:50:15.694+02:00Lolita: Wonderful!

I'm partial to the Johnny Hartman version, but he doesn't go through all the stanzas. It's nice that Bryan Ferry gives us the entire song.Jacqueline T.
