Interesting facts
Tiger Bay is a 1934 low-budget British film directed by J. Elder Wills and starring Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong and Henry Victor. It was written by Eric Ansell, Wills and John Quin.
Production
The movie was originally intended to be set in the Limehouse district of London, but UK censors condemned the script as "the worst type of American gangster film" and would not allow a British city to be shown harbouring such a den of vice and iniquity, and so the story had to be moved to an unspecified South American location.
Although a run-of-the-mill B movie, the film gave Wong ample space and time to show off her wardrobe, dance skills and exotic charms.
