noir city 12 -- day 7

"macao" 
jane russel wears a see-through blouse and meets robert mitchum in william bendix's panty hose suitcase as kung fu's master han throws knives!  shocking! 
"singapore"
fred mac murray a pearl smuggler?  you bet!  but he's got BIG girlfriend-with-amnesia problems. 
"the shanghai gesture"
  whitey ona manson plays full on chinee (sic) overlordess ("mother gin sling").  you think walter huston's child is john...you're wrong!
{and we're shown martin scorsese's personal print!  awesome-o!}
