Bechdel Test Movie List

Although the film is mostly about men, there are four major female characters who regularly interact about subjects other than men. (Necrophilia, murders, poison gas, etc.)

There's still some gross stuff in the movie (Peter Sellers in yellowface as the Inscrutable Asian making jokes about "tiny wangs" and "cow dung woo fung" is particularly gross), but it nevertheless passes the test.

Though yellowface appears in the movie, the film is a satire on classic detective characters of the time, including Charlie Chan, who was most famously played by non-Asian actors in yellowface after 1935. The use of yellowface may be intentional to parody and criticize the yellowface and stereotypical portrayal of the popularized Charlie Chan source material. This is also noted by the self-referential line of criticism and inexplicability that "one of the most brilliant minds of this century can't use his prepositions or articles!"
