Doomed to Die (1940) DVD: Doomed to Die 1940 DVD |
| Product Description : Restrained by tight-fisted budgeting and hectic schedules, William Nigh was destined to become a non-stylist director and settled down to directing a string of modestly budgeted fast- paced action thrillers and mysteries. Credited with a string of moderate successes with his Mr. Wong detective series, Nigh enthralled audiences with the clever deductions of his Chinese private eye - James Lee Wong. Somewhere along the way Nigh seems to have had a brush with Chinese culture and traditions and uses these pretty effectively - in his almost trademark use of Chinese actors, Chinese settings, Chinese dialogues and yes a sprinkling of Chinese philosophy as well. Doomed to die is set at the confluence of two cultures - American and you guessed it - Chinese! This thrilling narrative has the not-so-bright- police chief Bill Street pitting his wits against the masterly Wong with the nosey, reporter Bobbie Logan adding insult to Street?s injuries as they try to figure out who killed shipping magnate Cyrus P. Wentworth. Wong?s dogged and methodical ways finally help him nab both the culprits - when all the while you are looking for just one. Humorous, fast-paced and intriguing, "Doomed to Die" is actually "Set to Thrill." Don?t miss it! |
