17 DRAGON SEED. 1944. Directed by Jack Conway, Harold S. Bucquet. With Katharine Hepburn (Jade), Walter Huston (Ling Tan), Aline MacMahon (Ling Tan's Wife), Akim Tamiroff (Wu Lien). Another adaptation from a Pearl S. Buck epic, this time focusing on the heroic resistance of Chinese farmers in a small village to Japanese invasion during the Sino-Japanese War in the 1930s. Hepburn portrays the spirited daughter of a rural family whose privileged position as a housemaid for a Japanese general offers the perfect opportunity to undermine the hostile forces. The only major film from Hollywood to deal with this often-overlooked conflict, Dragon Seed captures a unique moment in time, celebrating an ally who would, within a few years of its release, become an implacable enemy. The film's greatest interest lies in the sincere attempts at Asian characterizations, particularly Hepburn's intriguing variation on her usual principled and independent woman. 148 min.
