‘The World Of Suzie Wong’ the romanticized myth of a Hong Kong prostitute and an American artist is for some, a simplistic racist concept of Chinese, for others, a guilty pleasure. Yes, it is both of those things but it is even more. It is a pleasing and tender worship sage of two people from very different worlds who overcome pride and prejudice and embark upon a correct human experience. Forty four years after its release this film along with ‘Flower Drum Song’ are being re-evaluated and embraced by the Chinese American community. Why? Because beneath the surface of each film they fraction the current job of telling the legend of their time and position with honesty and upright humanity and in the case of Suzie Wong, the epic is not such a blissful one.
At first we are presented in `Suzie Wong’ a stereotypical understanding of contented runt hookers in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong. But as the epic unfolds the veneer of this portrait cracks initiate to pronounce through Suzie objective how desperate the lives of these women are. In a city of over three million crammed onto the island city it is a case of do what you must to survive. In Suzie’s case she must compartmentalize her feeling into body, esteem, and soul and thus protect herself by pretending that she is the daughter of a rich merchant rather than a Wan Chai bargirl. Though her relationship with Robert they both learn the meaning and cost of like in a world of narrow idea and prejudice.

The film is very adult and fair in dealing with the subject of the flesh trade and racism in 1960 must have been a bit frightening on several levels. This film must be credited with opening the door to telling more unprejudiced stories of Asian’s with Asian actors in the major roles. After all, not too many years before we had Jennifer Jones playing a Eurasian in ‘Love Is A Many Splendored Thing’. She did a splendid job, but aloof she was miscast. Here we have Nancy Kwan creating a memorable character, as it should be, by someone of Asian descent.
Nancy Kwan is incandescent in the role of Suzie. This was a star making turn for her and led to other salubrious roles over the years. She is sexy, with a street-smart veneer that covers her start and trusting heart. She rises to the many emotional challenges of Suzie and succeeds in carrying the viewer through the film as only an accomplished actress can. The camera falls in care for with her, as does the reluctant Robert.
William Holden is perfectly cast as the “pushing forty” American who has near to Hong Kong to pursue his dream of being an artist. He is a pro who give the role objective the feeling of wonder and discovery it needs blended with a clear worldliness that it requires. Together, Kwan and Holden are an intoxicatingly romantic couple that allotment a chemistry on hide most films of this genre aspire to but few enact.
The supporting cast is filled out by standouts such as Jacqui Chan as Gwennie Lee, Andy Ho as Ah Tong, Michael Wilding as Ben Marlow and Sylvia Simms as Suzie’s rival, Kay O’Neill.

Geoffrey Unsworth also known for his work on ‘Becket’, ‘2001 A Residence Odyssey’ and ‘Cabaret’ stunningly photographed Hong Kong for the film. His consume of light and color is unsurpassed in capturing the long gone contemplate of the city in 1960. The art direction of John Box is worthy.

It is all expertly helmed by director Richard Quine who is also responsible for ‘Bell, Book, and Candle’, ‘Strangers When We Meet’ and the palatable ‘How To Assassinate Your Wife’.

So on that rainy Saturday afternoon when you need a itsy-bitsy romance, drama and depart to a far off land pop in this unique DVD of ‘Suzie Wong’ and be carried away.
Nancy Kwan is very elegant and talented. William Holden shows a side of himself not usually seen, that is, betwixed, off-guard, yet enchanted by Ms. Kwans character. Her character teaches him what Chinese people fill valued although the movie is seen through a Westerner’s eyes. The scenery is extremely fascinating, as Hong Kong surely would not leer this blueprint again, so the moment in time is a appreciate in itself. I watched this movie about 10 times over a month period because I loved the romantic myth, the boy meets girl, loses girl formula, the snooty characters and of course William Holden for taking on such an recent anecdote.
