      Mildred Martin Philadelphia Inquirer [Anna May Wong] moves with cool detachment and grace through this wild yarn of smugglers, thinking her own thoughts, we suspect, and doing what the can to lend interest to a film that is sillier than it is exciting. Dec 11, 2020 Full Review Wanda Hale New York Daily News Not only because of [Anna May Wong's] presence, but also because the suspense is blood-curdling at times, Daughter of Shanghai is a refreshing job of an all-too-familiar theme. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 11, 2020 Full Review Hobe Morrison Variety While the pic makes no pretensions to be more than a programmer, it has several genuine assets.

      ashley h Daughter of Shanghai is a decent film. It is about a Chinese-American woman who tries to expose illegal alien smuggling ring. Anne May Wong and Charles Bickford give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Robert Florey did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
