The Battle (released in the U.S. as "Thunder in the East"), the 1935 Nicolas Farkas English/French romantic military Naval war melodrama (about a Japanese nobleman who has a large Naval fleet and who uses the knowledge of a British Navy officer to help him win a major battle, even going so far as to encourage the officer to have an affair with his own wife!; after winning the battle, he realizes how badly he has degraded himself and his wife, and he commits ritual suicide) starring Charles Boyer (as the Japanese nobleman!), Merle Oberon, John Loder, Betty Stockfeld, and Miles Mander. Note that this movie was simultaneously made in French as "La Bataille", also starring Boyer in the lead role, but with Annabella replacing Oberon and many other cast changes. It was released as "The Battle" in England, and later that year was released in the U.S. under the title "Thunder in the East". Note that the U.S. posters say "Formerly titled 'The Battle'", but they are NOT re-release posters, but from the first U.S. release, a short time after the movie's first English release. Also note that Charles Boyer started as an actor in French movies in 1921 at the age of 22. He made his first American movie, The Magnificent Lie, in 1931, but his greatest success came in the 1940s!
