Why the title of this movie is east of shanghai instead of Rich and Strange ?

Depends on where it was released: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023395/releaseinfo#akas

Maybe the Shakespeare reference was too hoity-toity for the Americans (assuming it had a cinema release, that is - I'm not sure how many British films crossed the Atlantic).
