An Orphan
(1929)
|
This comedy-drama, directed by Huimin Zhang, stars Suxin Wu and Huimin Zhang, with Langen Han, Xiao-Tian Sheng, Lixia Shen and Honghong Li.
Part marital comedy, part personal tragedy, part gangster film; this unusual drama of a young orphaned woman’s trek through life doesn’t quite land on solid ground.
