Plot Summary:Raised by his grandfather to adhere to the ancient laws of China, Mandarin Wu is a strict authoritarian. However, he is a doting father to his beautiful daughter Nang Ping. Nang Ping is to be married to a man of her father's choosing, a man she does not even know. But she falls in love with a dashing British visitor to China, Basil Gregory. Basil informs Nang Ping that he must return to Britain with his family, but she surprises him with the revelation that she carries his child. Wu learns of his daughter's dishonor and lets the ancient laws of China lead him relentlessly toward tragedy.
庭院布景相当好看；“西风摧毁了我的花朵”，西风虽是秋风，东风也未必不摧残百花，两人幽会如同异色版的《西厢记》；在同一镜头里黄柳霜肩颈比例优于Renée Adorée；看外网有人吐槽是这部电影该取名“Two Racist Dads”，则是完全错会了武先生的悲剧。
三星半，考究的场景服装很亮眼，奈何浮夸的表演太减分。中间多处对于中西文化博弈的见解很有意思
二十年代“东方主义”爱、罪与罚神片了
不知道种族歧视的题材在历史背景下是不是就显得不那么种族歧视, 还是更甚.
奇怪电影
朗.钱尼在这部影片中的表演像是歌剧魅影的收敛版。艺术指导舞台美工都很考究力求逼真没有半点粗制滥造的cult感。用烂俗无比的爱情悲剧讲述一个国家的悲剧，西方教育根本无法改变武先生根深蒂固的封建思想和老朽固化的既定思维。。。
法国女演的中国小姐太浮夸，完全被身边演丫鬟的黄柳霜抢走风头。故事嘛就那样，受过西方教育的武先生仍不能摆脱中国传统，以至于扼杀女儿自由跨国恋，上演鱼死网破大悲剧，似乎有隐喻在。另外服装布景什么的还不错，毕竟离清末也没过多久。
Renée Adorée连赴死都那么从容
救命！！！好猎奇啊！！！！不过布景什么的如今的清装剧靠谱多了！！！！属于考古派必看！！！！今天在TCB台放这个。。。
