Lady from Chungking is a 1942 American war film.
The film tells the story of an aristocratic Chinese woman leading a group of Chinese fighters against Japan during World War II.
A small Chinese village is the location of this World War II story where Chinese nationals fight a guerrilla war against the occupying Japanese forces. A young woman is the secret leader of the villagers, who plot to rescue two downed Flying Tiger pilots who are currently in the custody of the Japanese. The rescue mission takes on even more importance with the arrival of a Japanese General, which signals a major offensive taking place in the area.
Alpha Video released the film on region-1 DVD on May 31, 2005.
