Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Across to Singapore is a 1928 film directed by William Nigh.The story starts in 1857. Joel Shore (Ramon Novarro) is the youngest of four brothers in a seagoing merchant family. He is in love with the town beauty, Priscilla Crowninshield (Joan Crawford in one of her first starring roles) and she with him, and they obviously hope to marry one day.Unfortunately nobody told their fathers, who arrange a wedding between Priscilla and the eldest Shore brother, Mark, who captains the Shore family's merchant ship. Mark is enchanted with lovely Priscilla and thrilled to marry her—until she refuses to kiss him at the wedding. Mark realizes that Priscilla loves someone else, but doesn't know who. He certainly doesn't guess Joel, who's now old enough to go to sea and is a member of Mark's crew.One of three film adaptations of the novel All the Brothers Were Valiant. Anna May Wong appears as a Singapore bar girl who sets her sights on Mark.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Asian Hooker Stereotype: Hinted at with the unnamed Singapore bar girl played by Anna May Wong, who crawls all over Mark in a bar and is sitting in his lap by the time that Joel comes in and pulls them apart.

Bar Brawl: Mischievous Joel triggers a bar brawl by tossing nuts both at Mark and the surly, aggressive sailor next to him at the bar. Then Joel sits back and watches everyone else fight.

Arranged Marriage: Not only do Mr. Shore and Mr. Crowninshield arrange Pricilla's marriage without asking her, they don't even tell her until the public announcement in church. Mark doesn't miss the look of horror on Priscilla's face.

As You Know: Joel helpfully explains family relationships to the audience by telling Priscilla "My brother Mark will be sailing home." Then when Mark does get home, he turns to someone else and says "Look, Noah, our baby brother!"
