Read More‘The Bitter Tea of General Yen’ Review – See One of the First Interracial Romances on Screen
by Amber Topping | Oct 20, 2019 | Book Adaptations, Classic Books, Classic Movies & TV, Classics, Film Reviews, Modern Romanticism, Movies & TV, Reviews, Romance, Romantic Drama, Romanticism | 2
Directed by Frank Capra, The Bitter Tea of General Yen is a relatively forgotten pre-Code film with social relevance, religious cynicism, violence, and a shocking interracial romance between a Chinese warlord and a Christian missionary. Indeed, this is not the type of movie one thinks of when referencing a Capra classic. It’s a Wonderful Life it is not. But that’s what makes this movie so fascinating. Not only is it different from Capra’s later films, but it’s also a love story ahead of its time.

In celebration of National Grandparents Day, I’ve put together a list of movies about older people showcasing love in the later stages, “old” love as it were.
