La porta della Cina (1957)
Nel Vietnam dominato dai francesi, la proprietaria di un bar con sangue cinese nelle vene sposa un americano, ma costui l'abbandona quando nasce un figlio dai caratteri somatici orientali perché è un razzista e si crede tradito. Tempo dopo, durante la guerra d'Indocina, i francesi incaricano la donna d'una missione di spionaggio che consiste nel far saltare un deposito di rifornimenti dei ribelli. Lei scopre in uno dei legionari che la devono accompagnare proprio il marito fedifrago. I rapporti fra i due sono tesi, ma quando lei si sacrifica per salvare gli altri lui prende con sé il figlio in ricordo della sposa scomparsa.
