reviewed Chinese American Names: Tradition and Transition on September 07, 2018 Chinese American Names: Tradition and Transition
Excellent & well-researched overview of the Road pictures that Bing, Bob and Dorothy made together. There's a number of notes and quotes taken from during the production of these films that I was not aware of until reading this book. The author even includes a quick rundown of the non-Road filmography for each actor.
