...Michael Blumenthal, now Treasury Secretary, was then picking up odd jobs in Shanghai as the son of expatriate Germans. The two did not meet until much later in the U.S., but they relish trading reminiscences about the China of their youth...

In the sparsely populated coach sections, many passengers are black families with irrepressibly active children; for them the unfettered train trip is clearly more comfortable and practical than airliner or bus.

The film's one outright hilarious character, played with vaudevillian relish by Art Carney, is a chief of surgery so senile that he says good morning to empty hospital stairwells...
