Target Hong Kong (1953)

A soldier of fortune (Richard Denning) and unlucky gambler finds himself between jobs in Hong Kong. American agents and Chinese nationalists recruit him to help remove the communist influence that has come to the region. Directed by Fred F. Sears (EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS). A simplistic "red scare" propaganda potboiler that was so typical of the 1950s. The commies aren't remotely recognizable as human beings but stereotypes just dripping with evil intent. A lot of stock footage from older movies are incorporated into the film. Fortunately the movie is barely over an hour so it's over quickly. With Nancy Gates, Michael Pate, Richard Loo, Philip Ahn, Soo Young and Ben Astar in a terrible performance as the head bad guy.
