Movie Reviews of Flower Drum Song
Movie Review: Finally!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have loved thie movie ever since seeing it on late night tv. I had to search a long time to find it on video before dvd was an option and I have been waiting impatiently for release on dvd since my vhs is wearing out. The gradual awakening of young Ta to which girl is truly right for him and Sammy Fong's attempt to disillusion his picture bride are priceless although the latter was often cut out during late night broadcasts. The ballet is sublime even though you can tell when they switched from James Shigeta to a professional dancer. Afterall, it's the music and the story that make this great.Movie Review: Had to order the DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this again on cable and WOW...crazy stereotypes, non-PC language, and terrific music. I love it. I have to have it. It's worth the price just to see Jack Soo singing "Don't Marry Me". It is rather troubling that many of the stars have passed, but they are all vibrant and sharp in this musical. I always had a crush on Nancy Kwan. She is still around. Reiko Sato, who plays Helen, is wonderful in this movie, but I can't find much on her on the net. Everything about this movie is well done. It's a treasure. I also ordered the soundtrack CD, so I can rip the songs to my iPod.Movie Review: Finally! I've been waiting years for this DVD to be released.

Oh my. I love this movie. It even makes me cry. It's sexy, cute, and heartwarming. Yes, it's a little bit hokey but what musical isn't? I am so excited to get this! I love this movie. I'm a huge musical fan and I've been waiting years for this one. They must have finally convinced whomever had the rights to release it on DVD. I don't know but I'm really excited! One Hundred Million Miracles! I love that philosophy. It makes me happy and it's a miracle that this is finally available. Get your kids/teens to watch it!Movie Review: A Rodgers and Hammerstein fan!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love musicals and enjoy Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals (most popular ones being Sound of Music and South Pacific) you will want to add this one to your collection. I did and I'm glad I did. I saw this on tv many years ago. Now I have the dvd and it has subtitles which I like to put on in case I miss something. You'll enjoy this movie; it's full of wonderful songs and dances. My favorites are "Chop Suey" and "Don't Marry Me." It's a great movie. And in the end it just makes you feel good!!Movie Review: Fond Memories
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this DVD because I remember seeing Flower Drum Song on television when I was growing up. As an Asian woman, it was one of the few things that I saw in the media that protrayed Asians (both men and women) as actually people rather than stereotypes. Sure, the movie has some less than politically correct moments, but overall it was groundbreaking at the time. Plus, the songs are actually good! Warning: there is a danger that the songs will get stuck in your head!
