Perhaps the greatest asset of Piccadilly comes from the camera. Mr. Dupont is noted for his unusual touches, and he has not spared them in this production. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- It's difficult to imagine a Hollywood production allowing an Asian star to be as commanding as Wong is in Piccadilly. Full Review

Music is the usual medley of pop dance stuff, with the cabaret set about the best thing in the production. Camerawork on close-ups is excellent. Full Review

Dupont transforms the stuff of melodrama into a compelling tragedy of passion with a theme of racial injustice and exploitation. Full Review

The melodramatic machinations of the plot may be weak, but Dupont's assured direction, Alfred Jünge's art direction, and Werner Brandes' lighting create an atmosphere so hauntingly evocative as to be satisfying in itself. Full Review
