“It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily,” intones Marlene Dietrich, who has never looked better than she does in this film (and that’s saying a lot). Stunning cinematography aside, Shanghai Express doesn’t have a whole lot going for it (clunky plot, dull male lead, etc), but the latter is more than worth the price of admission.
