East Is West is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Sidney Franklin and starring Constance Talmadge. The film is based on a 1918 Broadway stage play of the same name starring Fay Bainter as Ming Toy. It was remade as a talkie at Universal in 1930 with Lupe Vélez.
She'd wink till hearts went on the blink. And staid professors couldn't think. And everywhere they'd stop to stare. And say "Some Chink!" when Ming Toy winked.
Sure there are issues with modern eyes, but take East Is West (1922) as a bad taste comedy and you'll be good. The moral antidotes they squeeze out at the end there had me in stitches. Anyway, this is a story of a sweet Asian girl and her cultural troubles, which was popular exotic theme in Hollywood at the time.
