...other ethnic groups must deal with a stereotype that presumes disloyalty. That history goes back to Anglo-inspired exclusionary acts against Chinese and Japanese immigrants and the ferocity of the Pacific, Korean and Vietnam wars. It remains a living memory. Alice Young, a lawyer in a high-powered international-law firm, recalls a day in school in lily-white McLean, Va., in the early '60s. "They had a film on communism, and we were all sitting in our chairs watching it, and the communist happened to be a Chinese-looking person, and at the end of the film, it said...

In short, it means that France must become more Anglo-Saxon--or more liberale, as the French...
Most of the people couldn't be prettier. The ladies' dresses are glamorously revealing (this is one of the most bosom-obsessed movies since Russ Meyer retired). There's a nice use of the Anglo-African actors Lester and Carmen Ejogo; Branagh pairs them off with white co-stars. And in the director's familiar long takes, some of the dance numbers do work up a pleasing tension...
