    On the R2 Suddeutsche Zeitung Edition
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 17, 2010*

Frustrated by the absence of any Region 1 DVD of 'Shanghai Express', I finally gave up and sprang for the German release from the news outlet Suddeutsche Zeitung. I wasn't sure what I'd get, but the price was right and any DVD of this film would be better than none at all, so...It was a pleasant surprise to get a high-quality transfer with good sound and removable (German) subtitles. No disappointment here whatsoever. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that if you're looking for this title you know what it is, you know it's next to impossible to find if you're an American viewer, and you want it. If all that's true, and you have figured out the region code problem, then all I need to say is go for it -- this is a nice edition of a great film, not a shoddy public domain re-release by any means.Since I've bought this version I've become aware that Universal has released 'Shanghai Express' in Region 2, which is available from Amazon UK at a decent price. I can't speak to the quality of that, but I can't imagine that Universal would screw it up too badly. [*] Still, I'm perfectly well pleased with the Suddeutschen Zeitung version, I'm happy to (finally) have this film on DVD, and to anyone contemplating a purchase, I highly recommend this edition. It merits five stars in every respect, including, of course, content, which I've barely mentioned. But you know what it is, and you know you want it -- go ahead. You'll have no regrets.(Incidentally, I also found at the same time that Universal has released the equally rare Dietrich/Sternberg vehicle 'Dishonored' in Region 2, which is also available at Amazon UK for a low price. Since I've already got 'Shanghai Express' I've ordered that, and I hope it looks as good as this!)[*]Edited 2/20/11 to say: This German version seems to have gone scarce, and it's currently for sale here at a very high price. Don't pay it. Go to Amazon UK (your US Amazon account will work there) and buy the Universal Cinema Classics version for about a tenth of the price. I've bought it and it's every bit as good a transfer as the Suddeutschen Zeitung release. (Of course, it's also Region 2, so you'll still need the appropriate player.) I've also found the Universal edition of 'Dishonored' that I mentioned above to be an excellent release and can recommend it, though the picture quality is lower than that of 'Shanghai Express' -- overall it resembles the Criterion release of 'Scarlet Empress'. But it's certainly worth watching, and having.

    Von Sternberg at his Best
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2014*

Josef von Sternberg was always a controversial film-maker yet he was a polished professional, who began as an immigrant youngster in Brooklyn, escaping the political turmoil of his native Vienna, cleaning the set and stashing the cans of film.  He worked in every department, learned every craft, apprenticed to every one of the often 1000 specialists in the production team on an ambitious project.  His breakthrough came when he returned to Europe and in 1930 made "The Blue Angel" in Berlin, discovered a lithe young aspiring actress named Marlene Dietrich, and worked with her in 6 Hollywood productions, demanding total creative control of each of them: he designed the sets, chose the costumes, selected the music, wrote the script, directed the actors, operated the camera but was especially proficient with his specialty, the dramatic and often surprising lighting.  (One of his trademarks was always an actor in the foreground, in shadow, with highlighting only in the gleam of the eyes or the glints on the hair, with another actor in the background. full light on his face, a bewitching contrast.)  All of this comes together in "Shanghai Express", probably his best, most congruent, most polished product, showing off Marlene Dietrich to maximum dramatic effect.  The slinking walk, the seductive eyes, are framed by outstanding resources of furs and feathers and flowing gowns.  In "Shanghái Express" she reaches the epitome of glamour.

    They just don' make them like this anymore
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2013*

Marlene Dietrich with her sexy eyes that burn a hole in your heart. this wonderful 1932 movie that was released in 2012 is an excellent enhanced print It almost looks like it was made a few years ago. Although it wasn't made in the right years to officially qualify as Film Noir, trust me, It is. Marlene who plays Shanghai Lily, a lady of the night (what else) along with an interesting and strange cast of characters on the "Shanghai Express" during a chinese revolution. One of my favorites is a flat chested Chinese dragon lady, very mysterious. Future "Charlie Chan" Warner Oland plays a Chinese Che Guevara with a Yen for Shanghai Lily who does not want any part of him. The love interest is Clive Brook who sure knows how to drag out a sentence, I never heard anyone talk so slow. Brook is a English Army Doctor who hasn't a clue how to operate with Marlene who adores him.  All in all this is a good movie especially if your a Marlene Dietrich fan as I am. Its directed by the great Josef von Sternberg. They just don' make them like this anymore.I know, I keep on saying that.
