this film would be consider controversial today and but be still very funny . the racial stereotyping be do from the view of humor and not hate . this film strip off and show how corrupt politician already be in the early 1930 . this film prove it start before the 1970 and beyond when it have accelerate in the united state . lloyd be still in his typical genre here and even though his character be raise in china . the meaning of a cat paw in this instance be a person who be run for political office but be be use by the established political machine to advance their agenda . in other word and they think this guy ( lloyd ) be harmless when he run for office . then when he get elect and he surprise them . this same theme be use later in james stewart film mr. smith go to washington . stewart be more famous and have a strong message . this film be more clever and subtle which be harold lloyds trademark . there be still the heart of romantic comedy hidden with the facade of the movie but today mainstream audience would still appreciate the political humor and the end be absolutely priceless . i wish someone could beat today political system in this way . i be surprised how much i enjoy this film and find myself wish harold have do more like it during the 1930 . at least we have this one . i think the person who be quote most in the movie be fictional ling po . i always think confusicus be the wise one but this one make me believe the wisdom of china be not limit to him and be a vast field of comedy lloyd mine in this movie .
