Anna May Wong was a dialogue coach to Dorothy Lamour for this film. However, Anna May Wong's work with Dorothy Lamour was uncredited in this movie. Please note: Anna May Wong does NOT appear in this film.
Three and a half minutes into this film and I thought I had a pretty good idea why it was called ‘Disputed Passage’ when it was revealed that the main character was a student of theology. I just didn’t know which ‘passage’ would be in dispute, nor whether it actually was a Bible passage or, perhaps, some mountain pass in China being fought over for its control. I won’t reveal the answer to my quandary and thereby spoil it for future viewers; but suffice it to say that it was a wonderful story of human compassion. ❤ 👍🏽 👍🏽
Myrna Loy leaves us speechless in her regard for duty above love. This film approximates to that of a masterpiece, not merely because of her astonishing performance, but because it is she we see.
Although Ms Lamour is a talented actress, I do think Ana May Wong would have been better playing the Audrey Hilton part. Yes, I know 'that's just the way they did things" back then in Hollywood- - but I still think A-M-W would have been a better choice. I'm almost surprised they didn't cast Micky Rooney as the Chinese house-boy. . .
the bible was written by sexist males to subjugate women ! the bible should be disregarded by those with an open mind, think for themselves and for those who believe in equal rights and equality for all !

Ah so,
Anna May Wong is NOT Anna May Wong, in this production ?!?!
That explains much !!
😔😞😕
The professor's speech to the students at the beginning is still 100% correct regarding the medical profession.
Never heard of this disarming film. It is all that we need to live by. It is a triumph.

Myrna Loy?
Think you mean Dorothy Lamour?
How is it I had never heard of this film? Douglas was such a prominent author - his other works have been widely shown ... This is a real treasure!
I too had not seen this film. I like Dorothy Lamour but never cared for Akim Tamiroff ; John Howard was so handsome. Really a good film.
This film is seriously charged with what matters. Enter at your own risk. A marvel for thevera!
Loved it !
Thank you
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Excellent stories within stories (clean, w/o soapy sex triangles, thank God), good ethics & moral take-aways (nonexistent in our sinful Babylon 2024).
A high-level plausible-
early-WW-II IndoChina wartime plot (very fitting) ; OUTSTANDING plot !
IndoChina wartime plot (very fitting)✌✌✌
Great Film
A small masterpiece of exotic proportions. This film is epic on so many levels To try to improve upon it might be blasphemous.

Agree !! Amen !!
Dorothy L. is not pretending to be Chinese. I think they make that clear in the plot: Miss Hilton is of western parents.
The miracle of honest appraisal of all that exists is before us. Choose.
1:14:49 - Gaza.
Was Loy ever more perfect?
Loy?
To swear by Apollo, or any other false God than the one true Triune God, is blasphemy. True Faith will always be confirmed by that God
