Wow, here's a gem that's been hidden; ❤ this charming and heartwarming picture. When the young surgeon shows up at the hospital in China, this Scripture came to mind, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28, KJV)."
Credit where credit is due: A Paramount Picture, 1939. Dorothy Lamour shows her acting chops. Akim Tamaroff, John Howard, Judith Barrett and William Collier, Sr. support. Romance specialist Frank Borzage directed (he made a bunch with Janet Gaynor at Fox and others at MGM in the 1920's and 30's).
This story is without essence, without emotion and expression. The girl playing a Chinese is totally wrong. A Chinese girl is naturally sweet, graceful and friendly. This one looked like a fierce matron, sulky expression, emotionaless, and not pretty except for the thick makeup and ridiculous straight cut Chinese hair. To me, the love between them is just movie scripts, flat. The girl failed the story
I do not condone the movie industry for introducing tobacco (nicotine) products for their money. Or patronage. Talk about sabotage. Most everyone became addicted.. n fact the old game shows offered them instead of money. Watching this movie to see a doctor put a cigarette in his mouth
The military also introduced cigarette smoking during WW 2 to young soldiers who had not yet started smoking. They were given away free to anyone who would take them.
@donnarouse9432....Correct. The tobacco companies would give free tobacco products to all of the actors, as much as they wanted, but then would make a deal with the studios where smoking would have to be shown in a large part of the movie. This is why in so many movies for many years, that the characters were constantly smoking in almost every scene. And when T.V. became widespread in the early 50's, many of the shows were sponsored by the tobacco companies with commercials showing how glamorous and hip it was to smoke. My father was born in 1926 and I think that maybe in part he was influenced by these commercials, because he always smoked. Cigarette cancer finally finished him off in 2006. He had just 1/2 of one lung that worked, and it wasn't until he was forced to be on oxygen 24/7, that he was forced to quit smoking, knowing that it was cigarettes that did this to him. I think that tobacco, with the extra chemicals that are deliberately added that are known to be addictive, is the most dangerous drug there is. I say this because smokers can still go about their daily lives and work and all that, but become completely addicted both physically and emotionally. Yes, many have been able to quit, and I think that is fantastic, but look at the other hundreds of thousands of other smokers every year who never quit and die of cigarette cancer. What other drug kills this many people year after year after year? I could say that tobacco, in all it's forms, should be made illegal in the U.S., and I would have a personal reason to say so. But this is a free country, and with the information about the guaranteed danger of long term tobacco use known by everyone today, then I say that if someone is stupid enough to think that they are immune to cigarette cancer, they I say...fine...go kill yourself and take a father and husband away from your wife and children...I'm sure they will understand....!!!
Almost didn't recognize Akim Tamiroff, but there's no mistaking that voice! A great actor in his many and varied roles!

I dislike love movies intensely, but after watching this one, I have changed my mind. What a great movie with wonderful actors from an era gone by.

Dorothy Lamore had beautiful hair.
Cast: Dorothy Lamour, Akim Tamiroff, and John Howard:
14:40. That's why I could never be a doctor. To me nothing is more important than women.
Names of Actors ?

Why is the front of movie cut off? Is it a phony attempt to fool the copyright police?
