Genres & Description

Adventure Drama Romance Thriller

7.4 / 10

Many passengers on the Shanghai Express are more concerned that the notorious Shanghai Lil is on board than the fact that a civil war is going on that may make the trip take more than three days. The British Army doctor, Donald Harvey, knew Lil before she became a famous "coaster." A fellow passenger defines a coaster as "a woman who lives by her wits along the China coast." When Chinese guerillas stop the train, Dr. Harvey is selected as the hostage. Lil saves him, but can she make him believe that she really hasn't changed from the woman he loved five years before?

I know this was filmed 86 freaking years ago, but talk about the school of stilted acting! Having said that, Marlene did quite well. - @Saturday, May 26, 2018 12:15 AM

It was wonderful to watch the characters in the move light up a cigarette and smoke at will. Those were the halcyon days when one was not harangued by neurotic anti-smoking Nazis. - @Monday, March 5, 2018 5:35 PM

I have a friend who calls "Shanghai Express" the greatest cigarette ad in the world. The whole movie, somebody is either smoking a cigarette, lighting a cigarette, or putting out a cigarette. - @Thursday, January 14, 2016 6:45 AM
