Passport to China (1960)
I sat through Passport to China to support Richard Basehart, but if you’re not a fan of his, you should absolutely skip it. It’s marketed as his version of James Bond, but it hardly is. Towards the later half of his career, I always feel sorry for him when I watch his theatrical and television movies. He had such a promising start and showed intense dramatic acting chops, but when he made the poor choice of relocating to Italy while he was married to Valentina Cortese, his career took a nosedive and never recovered.
This low-budget thriller shows exotic locales and an appalling lack of modern times. In 1960, Caucasian men were made up with fake eyelids to look like Chinese bad guys. It’s ridiculous, and it just makes you feel sorry for everyone involved. To watch this movie, you’d never guess the leading actor could once act.
