	MovieMartyr.com - Shanghai Express
		Shanghai Express, perhaps his most conventional film, he uses his impeccable technique to greatly enhance what might have been in lesser hands fairly routine drama.
		Shanghai Express, a stiff-lipped Englishman describes China as a place "where time and life have no value." Sternberg does his best to make sure we feel that atmosphere, despite the studio-bound shooting.
		Shanghai Express’ delirious final scenes are perhaps a bit too eager to please, and are a bit out of step with the oppressive atmosphere that the film had spent so much effort creating.

		Think first-class railway carriages, strangers in a strange land, clandestine meetings by the roulette wheel between ruined contessas and American soldiers of fortune, the lounge pianist playing a little Harold Arlen while outside the natives riot in the streets and the last boat for Honolulu doesn't leave until midnight.
		The old Shanghai lobster trap ($28) is a wonderful dish that, if simplified, would be even better: The chunks of crustacean, poached in clam broth, are dazzlingly sweet and fresh and do not need the goofy brandy spice glaze that's slathered over them.

	Notherby's :: Shanghai Express
		A huge success on its release in 1932 "Shanghai Express" is still a movie treat and clearly illustrates how the mystic of Marlene Dietrich was born.
		SHANGAI EXPRESS is a masterpiece, but it is one primarily because of what Sternberg does with his camera, and not because of the story he has to tell.
		She shines as Shanghai Lily, and while one has trouble accepting that such a riveting woman could be in love with such a hunk of wood as Clive Brook, one has no difficulty believing in the attention she is able to create as she walks through the film.

	Catching the Shanghai express
		This part of Shanghai is clearly in a hurry.
		Consider the facts: many small and medium foreign companies operating in Shanghai say contracts with the government or local partners lose something in translation and invariably mean "open to negotiations".
		You will express interest in a product, they will indicate to you the asking price on a calculator; you respond to about 70 per cent of the original price by pressing your desired price on the calculator; they will emit horrifying screams with another elevated price....and so on and so on.

		Shanghai Express (1932), the fourth of their seven films together, is perhaps the apotheosis of the partnership.
		Given the tense circumstances, and von Sternberg's tyrannical manner and mania for perfection, working on Shanghai Express was a stressful experience for everyone.
		The most beautiful and exotic of von Sternberg's creations in Shanghai Express, of course, is Dietrich herself, swathed in designer Travis Banton's feathers and veils, and stunningly lit and photographed by Lee Garmes.

		SHANGHAI EXPRESS is, like much of Josef von Sternberg's early Hollywood work, technically stunning, and this is definitely one of his very best films.
		Paramount's SHANGHAI EXPRESS is an adventure story and above all a love story about Shanghai Lily (Marlene Dietrich) and Captain Harvey (Clive Brook) who used to be her lover.
		"Shanghai Express", is one of those films that very aptly fits into the category of "they sure dont make them like this anymore".

	Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Express Reviewed
		Shanghai Noon is in some ways a movie about movies, with its joking references to so many films.
		Take your pick—a fussy boarding house keeper, a gambler, a drug-smuggler, a religious fanatic, a doctor, and the notorious "white flower of the Chinese coast," whom the British doctor (Brook) is surprised to learn is a sometime lady friend of his, whom he knew as Madeline.
		One of the perhaps accidental echoes of this film in Shanghai Noon is in the friendship that crosses ethnic lines and plays against ethnic stereotypes.

	Shanghai Express Film Review - Time Out Film
		Von Sternberg, who was forever looking for new kinds of stylisation, said that he intended everything in Shanghai Express to have the rhythm of a train.
		The plot concerns an evacuation from Peking to Shanghai, but it's in every sense a vehicle for something else: a parade of deceptive appearances and identities, centering on the Boule de Suif notion of a prostitute with more honour than those around her.
		Dietrich's Shanghai Lily hasn't aged a day, but Clive Brook's stiff-upper-lip British officer (her former lover) now looks like a virtual caricature of the type.

	Wellington Film Society - SHANGHAI EXPRESS
		Like many of Sternberg's films, SHANGHAI EXPRESS follows the evolution of a sexual obsession, in this case the revival of an extinguished affair between elegant doctor Donald Harvey and the woman, known only as Magdalen, whose love he lost some years previously after a disastrous though unspecified test of faith.
		Now she is "Shanghai Lily, the notorious White Flower of China," en route to Peking on the Shanghai Express which, unknown to all on board, will be the scene of their downfall as an incognito bandit leader discovers their weaknesses, which he exploits to rob them of both dignity and self-esteem.
		Only the lovers remain untouched, united by a bond of mutual need for immolation, and as the train arrives, Lily, in a suggestive and incomparably subtle scene of presenting her lover with a watch and taking in return his whip and gloves, signals that the all-powerful woman has won.

		Much like a precursor to the 70s disaster movie, Shanghai Express concerns itself with a Chinese civil war, the Peking-Shanghai train and the characters travelling in these dangerous times.
		From the cramped, sweaty third-class carriages to the expansive, opulent first-class, this is a cross-section of society at a time of national strife (note the open trucks full of government soldiers).
		Despite showing its age, via the attitudes and modes of behaviour, Shanghai Express is a movie with great heart.
