Movie Reviews of The World of Suzie Wong
Movie Review: Touching Film
Summary: 5 Stars
The World of Suzie Wong has been attacked over the years as having a racist view of Chinese. I think based on the standards of the time the producers did try and portray Chinese culture in a positive light. Remember this film was set in a rough area of Hong Kong. The one thing that causes this film to stand out today is the stark differences of the Hong Kong of 1960 and today. I do think William Holden may have been miscast in his role. He is too old for Nancy Kwan and does not seem to look the part of an escapist/Artist. I would have cast Montgomery Clift perhaps or Marlon Brando. Nancy Kwan is lovely in this film and her acting in this film explains why she is the best Chinese actress of her generation.Movie Review: Love endures
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie when I saw it for the first time. I guess it sort of haunted me, because many years later I found myself racking my brain for the name of it so I could buy it and watch it again. I looked up Nancy Kwan online and found the title.
Fast shipping brought it to my door and into my heart again.
Not a very complicated movie, just lovely photography and a lovely story. Suzy seems a little childish, but I wonder how old she was supposed to be in the movie. Maybe not much more than a child really? If you like romance, you'll love this movie.

Movie Review: Love story of an Artist and a Beatiful Asian Girl
Summary: 5 Stars
A lovely story of an aging artist and a beautiful young girl set in Hong Kong. Its very comical when they meet and as the story unfolds he likes her but the life she leads. I found the Bar-Girls a lively group and very cute. As the story progress's it is interesting how much compassion Holden has for Suzie. When the rains come and you see the destruction it causes you feel sorry for the people whose lives and shacks are destroyed. The endingss is very sad but sends a message of hope.Movie Review: A great love story filmed in one of the greatest cities!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have been to, or lived on, Hong Kong this movie is a must see. The Star Ferry as it was, the vibrancy of a city that never stops. William Holden in one of his best roles and Nancy Kwan make a terrific couple for a love story that is poignant and rich with character. Love knows no cultural or class boundaries and this film proves that point. I will watch it any time and highly recommend it. You'll enjoy it.Movie Review: Suzie Wong, Suzie 'right
