10 P.M. > Tonight on TCM ... A favorite (1932) Pre-Code movie -
Trains, guns, high explosives, spys, murder and sex ... what's not to love ... 🤗😋
In Peking, China, during a civil war, British Capt. Donald Harvey (Clive Brook) meets his old flame Magdalen (Marlene Dietrich) and learns with dismay that she has become a prostitute known as Shanghai Lily. Both are traveling to Shanghai via train, and while they grow reacquainted, they remain unaware that they are traveling with spy and rebel army leader Henry Chang (Warner Oland). On Chang's orders, his forces attack the train, terrorize the passengers and hold Donald hostage
Marlene Dietrich is HOT !
It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

I think Madeline Kahn did a very fine job impersonating Dietrich in Blazing Saddles.
Those WWII era Germanic type ladies, although erotic, never really did much for me.
The movie sounds interesting however.
So not that Madonna and Sean Penn fiasco?
Good movie, I watched it the other night too. I bet they smoked 1000 cigarettes in the filming.
