    Yes, this is a really entertaining movie. It’s kind of like “Gone with the Wind” in that it presents a very skewed historical perspective but does so in a technically-accomplished way. It’s worth watching because it shows the American perspective on its place in the world back in the early 60s.

    The white actors playing Chinese people is part of a long and embarassing history of “Whitewashing.”
