Dragon Seed stars Hepburn Huston in oriental drama critique
Ferne Gater reviews Dragon Seed at Paramount. Katharine Hepburn as Jade and Walter Huston lead a strong cast including Akim Tamiroff Tarhan Bey Aline MacMahon and Frances Rafferty. The film's costumes and setting impress but the performances struggle to feel authentically Chinese yet their acting still yields memorable scenes and dramatic tension. A cold Atlantic spill in the plot leaves Murmansk oddly referenced.
