In 1931, as China teeters on the brink of civil war, a diverse group of Westerners boards the Shanghai Express, a luxurious train bound for Shanghai. Among them is Shanghai Lily (Marlene Dietrich), a notorious “coaster” or courtesan, who unexpectedly reunites with her former lover, British Army Captain Donald Harvey (Clive Brook). As their unresolved feelings resurface, the journey takes a perilous turn when the train is hijacked by the rebel warlord Henry Chang (Warner Oland).
With lives at stake and loyalties tested, Shanghai Lily must navigate a web of deception and sacrifice to protect those she cares for, all while confronting her own past and the possibility of rekindled love. Set against the backdrop of a country in turmoil, Shanghai Express weaves a spellbinding tale of redemption, courage, and the transformative power of love.
Shanghai Express represents the fourth collaboration between Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich, solidifying her status as an international icon of glamour and mystery. Dietrich’s portrayal of Shanghai Lily is a masterclass in screen presence, combining smoldering sensuality with hidden depths of vulnerability and strength. Her famous line, “It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily,” encapsulates the allure and complexity of her character.
The film’s success further cemented Dietrich’s position as one of Hollywood’s most bankable and intriguing stars, influencing fashion, film, and popular culture for decades to come.
