I had a great time when I watched this movie with English subtitle.
Living in the USA for so many years and watched a lot of American movies, "the Crossroad", the 1937 production in China, surprised me in that it is to certain degree a Hollywood style alike - believable in story-telling and very entertaining in actors/actresses naturally performing.
The story topic is not new, it is about two good-looking strangers fall in love, sounds like a common story from one of any movies, but how the story go in this movie, in 1937, in Shanghai, with history background of high-unemployment?
This movie is one of classical collections from 1930's and the only one with English subtitle added among those of 1920 to 1940's by the time of wring this review. It is issued by Jingwen Audio Video, authorized by CCTV. With English subtitle, anyone who is into the movies is now able to watch it. Thanks for the publisher!
