This isn't one of the worst all time films, but it has nothing going for it. The heroine is a pale, lackluster sort, and it's strange that hero Clark Gable, surrounded by gorgeous Asians, would even glance at her, but he does. She searches for husband Gene Barry, who is a prisoner. Surprisingly, it is this meager, incredulous love triangle that is the only thing even remotely interesting in this movie. There is an attempt at action, and a lot of fist fighting and tough talk, but it is all very boring. No one cares. Plus, the lack of motivation makes it even more boring. This was "Fight Club" half a century earlier. There are also attempts at grand scenery, and over the top characters. One is supposed to think that the characters of the film hold the attention of everyone in the continent of Asia, all the time. No one knows why. No one cares. The grandeur and splendor is all hum drum and very weak.
