Synopsis: The Bright Cantonese (1967; vt The Deadly Eurasian 1968) combines doomed romance and nuclear Disaster with an intensity reminiscent of the early Geoffrey Household, as the eponymous female Red Guard – who leaves her lover on a quest through the United States in search out those responsible for the nuclear bombing of part of China – fails to prevent a further disaster, the nuclear destruction of several major American cities.
