Nice tie, shame about the film....

Warning: Spoilers
Glendon Wasey is a fortune hunter looking for a fast track out of China.

Gloria Tatlock is a missionary nurse seeking the curing powers of opium for her patients.

Fate sets them on a hectic, exotic, and even romantic quest for stolen drugs. But they are up against every thug and smuggler in Shanghai.....

If you ever want to see a film starring a married couple who have zero chemistry in a movie, then this is a must.

It's labelled as an adventure romance, so you'd be forgiven to think your about to watch a homage to Indiana Jone ps by way of romancing the stone. Instead you get a film that is more like a homage to Firewalker, by way of Allan Quartemain in the eighties, and every bit as bad as it sounds.

We have Paul Freeman pretending to be an old Oirish clergyman, and the big reveal at the end is wasted, because we see him without his contacts in for at least five minutes before he goes 'ta da'.

There's a man with porcelain hands, Penn looks like he's been taking some sort if narcotic throughout filing, and Madonna, is supposed to be a virginal missionary.......

Isn't it all hilarious.

It's dreck of the highest order, and no wonder they broke up after this, I hated everybody after sitting through it.

Devoid of almost anything, it's a surprise it didn't sink Handmade pictures....
