The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) Fan-Made Trailer

[prahoksauce]

Im 23 years old and i'm about to try and download and watch this. Shame they don't make films like these any more. I'm not offended how they used a swedish actor to represent a chinese (I'm also chinese), times were different back then.

I wish i could have lived before the 1950s. Life seemed much more simple, yet thrilling back then......

Anyone who hasn't seen this movie in its entirety should. Turn off the phone, etc., and spend a couple of hours with an entertaining, mature, work of art. As Megan learns, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. You should probably ignore this comment.

I just saw the movie and I couldn't believe it was made during that time period. I think it flopped when it was released in 1933, anyway, I loved it.

@sheila1861 Yeah, they said it was a bit racist with a swedish guy as a chinese. I love it too, anyway.

I love the interraction between Barbara and Nils - electrifying..

[buvillanueva]

Beautifully done!

[EnricCirne]

This is an amazing film -- way ahead of it's time. Maybe Capra's best.

[satin3charm]

It was overshadowed by his 40s successes :)

Amazing! Less than two minutes, but very intense! you edit your images in a professional manner! Music you chose is beautiful!

[satin3charm]

Wow I've never heard of this film and this trailer makes me want to watch it. Great OST choice!

[satin3charm]

Thank you! Frank Capra and Barbara Stanwyck are always a great thing. Btw, you'll enjoy Nils Asther's performance. :D

[gottamatch]

omg how weirdly amusing is this, I was watching a Charlie's Angels re-run on TV today and Barbara was on it! I've never seen one of her movies lol bad classic film fan award, I know. This is on my list of things to see!

[satin3charm]

Did that re-run went on StarWorld or something?

I might be looking for it :D

[gottamatch]

I'm in Australia hehe so I do not know what Star World is lol it was just on a free-to-air digital channel :)

[Shabannie]

You did a beautiful job!  Now I want to see the movie.

Awesome trailer; I saw "The Bitter Tea of General Yen" some months ago and it was great!

[satin3charm]

I agree!
