East Is East

Posted by S. on March 24, 2003

I was just browsing the IMDb and found some eight movies, the earliest from 1913, the titles of which are either "East Is East" or some pun there-on. And so, I was wondering whether "east is east" is or is part of some famous proverb or some thing.

Thanks in advance for any information.
