Movie Reviews of The World of Suzie Wong

Movie Review: A somewhat uncomfortable, but still a charming, cherishable film
Summary: 4 Stars

I've watched this movie several times in my life. Realistically, It is a rather disturbing depiction of being an asian girl in her own country. Prostitutes wanting to brag that they have a steady customer who beats them because they are jealous of being around other men. That's pretty warped.

And plus, why have William Holden in this film? He says (in the film) that he's pushing 40, but even though he was in his early 40's, he looks like he was more like 60 years old. Why did men grease up their hair like that? It made him look even older than he was which was why it was a little uncomfortable to see him with the young and beautiful Nancy Kwan.

Although I still like this movie, I thought William Holden was better in "Love is a Many Splendered Thing."

Movie Review: NO. not Hollywood's very best, but so what?
Summary: 4 Stars

Anyone seeing this today has to remember that it's politically incorrect by TODAY's standards, but reflected the period it's meant to represent (1950s) perfectly. This is what it was like in Hong Kong then, and how Asians were portrayed in this particular setting, which by the way, was pretty daring for its day. Suzy and her friends were very sexy, Bill Holden was a little long in the tooth for the role, and some scenes were a little overly done, but as a whole, it all hangs together. The photography is excellent, and if the script gets a tiny bit cliched at times, it's easy to overlook. Worth seeing.
PS: Maybe it's just me, but the cat/rice scene near the beginning has a certain offbeat charm to it all on its own.

Movie Review: Who wouldn't fall in love with Suzie Wong?
Summary: 4 Stars

It's hard to believe this movie was made nearly 48 years ago. The story hasn't aged and Suzie Wong is as adorable as I remember her so many years ago. I nave thoroughly enjoyed seeing it again, and again.
