  • "The focus of this maligned epic is on the occupying forces in the foreign compound at Peking, besieged during the summer of 1900 by the Boxer rebels supported by the imperial court keen to liberate itself from western influence. To read the production history as recounted by Ray's biographer Bernard Eisenschitz is to wonder how anything of substance could possibly have emerged from the Bronston organisation. Critics reacted predictably. Andrew Marton finished shooting after Ray's collapse from exhaustion. A recent reappraisal by Ray aficionado, Geoff Andrew, finds something quite substantial - a creditable objectifying of viewpoints between the allies and the Chinese, a balancing of the intimate and the epic, the personal - a cold man of action is redeemed by love - and the political."@en
