Susan Hayward's husband has been detained while taking photographs in China and so she tries to illicit the help of Hong Kong based "entrepreneur" Clark Gable to try and rescue him. Despite some initial hostility, he falls for her and determines to try and help so he can win her from the captured Gene Barry. It's a pretty run of the mill romantic adventure, Hayward looks the part and there is certainly a glint in Gable's eye, Michael Rennie gets roped in too, and it flows well towards a rather predictable, but fun conclusion. It is pretty lightweight, this - but it shows off Hong Kong in the 1950s; takes a gentle ping at post war China and there is certainly a chemistry between the two out front. Forgettable, but still worth a watch.
