A wealthy Chinese banker marries a British singer and takes her back to his estate in the Malayan jungle. But his frequent absences on business make her feel abandoned and she has an affair with a nearby plantation owner.
So, is The Chinese Bungalow worth digging up today? For sure, if you’ve got a soft spot for classic British melodramas, the kind where everyone keeps their feelings tucked away until they just can’t anymore. Folks who appreciate early cinema and performers like Anna Neagle will find something to chew on here. 👍...
