Chu Chin Chow Ratings & Reviews
The New Republic
Otis Ferguson
The movie is flawed and may require a certain mood of acceptance, but it is foolish and delightful, and I like it.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Colvin McPherson
It is a distinctly superior picture, by any a delight.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
It is a fantasy made up of exciting dramatic situations, and good comedy, all of which is aided by an unusually good musical score and fine voices.
The Nippu Jiji (Honolulu)
James T. Hamada
The film is a 92-minute entertalinment. It tells the story of All Baba and the 40 and Is a well-balanced combination of melodrama and comedy with plenty of thrills, revelry, some sadistic killings, high-powered acting and some grand songs.
Vanity Fair
Helen Brown Norden
An over-elaborate and quite dull British spectacle.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
U.S. cinemaddicts may find the photography in Chu Chin Chow inferior to most recent Hollywood musicomedies... but are likely to approve the decor, [music, and Anna May Wong,] the only performer in the cast whose name is familiar to them.
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
Britain's long-heralded invasion of the American film market has begun with the offerings at the Roxy of Chu Chin Chow, a tuneful, spectacular and robust adaptation of the Oscar Asche comic operetta.
Variety
Variety Staff
This lavish musical from the British studios is a colorful, extravagant costume film that makes its bid for attention purely on an extravaganza platform, and makes the grade.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Musical retelling of the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves is well done, if a bit slow.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
An old stinker.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This 1934 talkie gives Ms. Wong a couple of powerful scenes to play, looking both dangerous and sexy either dancing or brandishing a dagger.
