Son of the Gods is a 1930 American pre-Code romantic drama film with Technicolor sequences, produced and released by First National Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros.

Richard Barthelmess and Constance Bennett star as a couple in love who have a falling-out when she discovers that, though he looks Caucasian, he is actually Chinese.

One day, two fellow students talk him into a triple date, but the white girls are outraged when they find out that they are out with a "dirty yellow Chinaman".

He takes a lowly job aboard a ship and ends up working for a novelist named Bathurst because of his knowledge of Chinese.

He runs his father's business empire with an iron fist, denying his white customers credit.

Meanwhile, Allana embarks on a wild round of non-stop partying to try to forget Sam, but only succeeds in ruining her health.

Assuming that he was Chinese, Dugan gave the boy to Lee Ying and his wife, who had been praying for a child.

[2] Critic Mordaunt Hall gave the film a negative review in The New York Times, writing that "After a none too hopeful beginning, Richard Barthelmess's latest talking film, 'Son of the Gods,' plods its weary way through banal episodes" and that "Mr. Barthelmess is not the genius who can turn to good account the character allotted to him in this uninspired narrative".
