Blood Alley (1955)




A merchant marine captain, rescued from the Chinese Communists by local visitors, is "shanghaied" into transporting the whole village to Hong Kong on an ancient paddle steamer.

Fairly entertaining adventure, if you are able to ignore the blatant anti-Communist propaganda.

Halliwell (no stars): "Rudimentary anti-Red heroics with expensive spectacle punctuating a tacky script."

Maltin **1/2: "Enjoyable escapism..."
