- Quotes
Japanese Governor: Why do Americans continually misunderstand us?
Johnny Williams: I can't imagine.
Japanese Governor: I dislike to say it; but, your countrymen are sometimes a little stupid. And I hope you will not be stupid, Mr. Williams. I will regret, deeply, having to regard you as a spy, rather than a friend.

Also, the camera is no slouch either, in this movie. It has excellent shots in the hotel rooms where much of the action takes place, giving it a somewhat noir feel that definitely generates an overall stylish period polish that is in synch with the true noirs of the period. If you like this style, as I do, China Girl is worth seeking out. One can only hope that it will eventually become part of a Tierny Collection. I'm certainly keeping my fingers crossed!
