Marlene Dietrich did her best work with Joseph von Sternberg: Blue Angel (8), Blonde Venus (7), Morocco (7), and this film, Shanghai Express. This film has extraordinary cinematography for its day, most shots look fabulous. And Civil War China is a great backdrop for a train ride. The love story angle doesn't exactly hold up, but everything else works here.
A 7 rating.
