AUKUS Chronicles/Commentary: ‘China Seas’ -1935

Written By Carl Gopalkrishnan (aka Gopal)

“A story only the Far East could tell”

“Daring”

“Your dream of Romantic Adventure come true”

- Clark Gable

- Jean Harlow

- Wallace Beery

- Rosalind Russell

No, this is not another speech by US General Mike Minihan. It is a classic 1935 Hollywood movie called ‘China Seas’ directed by Tay Garnett from Warner Bros Studio led by two memorable movie stars Clark Gable and Jean Harlow. Great, over-the-top chemistry between them in this movie. I’m sure that going to the movies after a romantic dinner helped many couples back in 1935 enjoy stronger marriages while enhancing their palette - all without necessarily needing to kill people as part of their couple’s therapy. Enjoy the movie:)

PS: if you get to the speech in the hyperlink, word search “marriage”.
