A Few Interesting Shots of Shanghai from Charlie Chan in Shanghai (1935) 3 – Into Shanghai’s Versailles Club
Posted: June 7th, 2012 | No Comments »Continuing with the excellent Charlie Chan in Shanghai (1935). I should point out that there is a rather good evocation of a waterfront dive – surely a Hongkew or Yangtszepoo bar – called the Versailles Club with girls, dancers, booze, dumb waiters and a basement where nefarious goings-on go on…Welcome to the Versailles Club…
Welcome to the Versailles Cafe (where all nations meet obviously…geddit!) down on the Shanghai waterfront
A drink? whisky soda?
plenty nice dancers with oriental moves to entertain the sailor boys…
in actual fact this is the actress Joan Woodbury, who appeared in many films including several Charlie Chans and was quite something – her bio is here
