Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNancy Wang Yuen's statement that the Hays Office's Production Code prohibited actors of different races from playing husband/wife couples on film is incorrect. The 1934 Production Code of America clarified that the miscegenation clause forbid only relations between Blacks and whites. The Production Code of 1934, Section II, Article 6 says "Miscegenation (sex relationships between the white and black races) is forbidden." The Production Code did not apply to Asians, Native Americans, or Mexicans.

Joseph McBride: There is a strange tradition in Hollywood films. Of course, when you look at golden Hollywood films, that's kind of a sign of our cultural imperialism that we play all parts.

Featured review
yellowface
Too much reliance on the same three talking heads but generous use of film clips and historical footage somewhat alleviates the problem. GGive it a B minus.
Always knew about Rooney and Brando (to mention nothing of Muni And Rainer) resorting to the noxious title practice. But it was embarrassing to see one of the five greatest female actors of American film and a supposed champion of liberal, values, Katherine Hepburn, stooping so low. And that Scarlett Johansson was still doing it as of 2017 and is unrepentant about it is downright disgusting. Let's boycott her films. Whadya say?
PS...And as long as I'm making suggestions I will gladly donate my backyard as the venue for a beer and/or sake summit between Joseph McBride and previous reviewer UNOhwen. Sounds like they have much to discuss.
