    Where to Watch

A cafe owner (Preston Foster) tangles with Japanese agents in pre-Pearl Harbor Shanghai. Kay: Lynn Bari. Saito: Noel Madison. Doris: Janis Carter. Alecsandri: Steve Geray. Fu Yen: Sen Yung. Traeger: Kurt Katch. Remsen: Addison Richards. Larsen: Ian Wolfe. Eminescu: Frank Puglia. Irving Pichel directed.

Typical WW II propaganda film starring Bari as a lovely British agent who convinces cynical American nightclub owner Foster (who has set up shop in Shanghai) to help her in her fight against Japanese spies. Worth watching for the laughable makeup job on Madison, who plays an evil Japanese.
