Stars: Anna May Wong, Noel Madison, and Leslie Denison Director: Joseph H. Lewis Chinese girl risks her life on espionage mission against Japanese during World War II.
Most teachers would take a head count when ushering her pupils into a safe place, and immediately search for anyone missing. It seemed like a long time before Miss Wong's character went back the short distance to the classroom where the boy had been left behind, and by then it was too late.
Yes: as a former teacher I felt exactly the same as you, BUT I have never had to usher pupils from a classroom while the Nipponese Air Force was bombing the school. She felt remorse...let's not be too harsh on her. Judge not etc. as the bible tells us.
A good & interesting film overall, but I dislike loose ends. What happened to the Arab holding 2 people at knife-point? They were getting on the bus at the end like a walk in the park.
A companion piece to Lady From Chungking also starring Anna May Wong and from the same studio thanks for posting.
This was a much better movie.

I do not know who did the subtitles but they need to learn chinese before trying to translate the language.
