Bankhead spends much of the movie in a Chinese dress of some Hollywood concoction – she certainly looks great stylistic accuracy is less certain. : The Damned Don't Cry (9780877973065) by Hervey, Harry and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices.

Tallulah is seriously sexy and the movie is a must for those interested in Orientalist tropes in American movies – it’s basically an entire movie of them! It’s a Harry Hervey script (he of Shanghai Express and the broadway adaptation of Somerset Maugham’s Rain – see my posts on Hervey here and here). Tallulah herself saw the movie as ‘banal’, though the New York Times liked it.

In order to drum up some attendance figures the New York World’s Fair of 1939-1940 named various days after celebrities of the time and encouraged their fans to come along….Noel Coward got a day….as did Tallulah Bankhead – on June 15 1940.
