(1934, Upgraded 10/15/21) Bela Lugosi, Wallace Ford, Arline Judge, E. Alyn Warren, Lotus Long, Robert Emmett O'Connor. No classic, but critics have been unkind to this film that contains one of Bela's meatier villian roles. He has some priceless dialogue as he plays a madman seeking the legendary coins of Confucius. "A few hours with the rats will make him speak the truth." Wallace and Judge have nice chemistry and should have been paired in other pictures. The torture scenes, while incredibly mild by today's standards, are pretty gritty for a low-budget Monogram Production. From 35mm.
