‘The World Of Suzie Wong’ the romanticized chronicle of a Hong Kong prostitute and an American artist is for some, a simplistic racist notion of Chinese, for others, a guilty pleasure. Yes, it is both of those things but it is even more. It is a sparkling and tender adore myth 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 part the accepted job of telling the sage of their time and set with honesty and factual humanity and in the case of Suzie Wong, the fable is not such a ecstatic one.
At first we are presented in `Suzie Wong’ a stereotypical notion of blissful minute hookers in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong. But as the legend unfolds the veneer of this portrait cracks commence to whine through Suzie fair 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, care for, 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 savor in a world of narrow thought and prejudice.

The film is very adult and impartial in dealing with the subject of the flesh trade and racism in 1960 must have been a bit horrible on several levels. This film must be credited with opening the door to telling more unbiased 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 gorgeous job, but composed she was miscast. Here we have Nancy Kwan creating a memorable character, as it should be, by someone of Asian descent.
Nancy Kwan is shiny in the role of Suzie. This was a star making turn for her and led to other favorable 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 admire with her, as does the reluctant Robert.
William Holden is perfectly cast as the “pushing forty” American who has arrive to Hong Kong to pursue his dream of being an artist. He is a pro who give the role impartial the feeling of wonder and discovery it needs blended with a obvious worldliness that it requires. Together, Kwan and Holden are an intoxicatingly romantic couple that allotment a chemistry on cloak most films of this genre aspire to but few effect.
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 Spot Odyssey’ and ‘Cabaret’ stunningly photographed Hong Kong for the film. His spend of light and color is unsurpassed in capturing the long gone glance of the city in 1960. The art direction of John Box is favorable. He is best known for his work with David Lean on ‘Doctor Zhivago’ and ‘Lawrence of Arabia’.
It is all expertly helmed by director Richard Quine who is also responsible for ‘Bell, Book, and Candle’, ‘Strangers When We Meet’ and the appetizing ‘How To Abolish Your Wife’.
Of special price are the stunningly resplendent paintings of Miss Kwan by artist Liz Moore. They are indeed fantastic and one wishes there had been an addition to the DVD of slides of this artist’s painting for the film.
‘The World of Suzie Wong’ is a film that holds both an distinguished status in film history and the hearts film buffs and romantics around the globe. So on that rainy Saturday afternoon when you need a microscopic romance, drama and recede to a far off land pop in this unusual DVD of ‘Suzie Wong’ and be carried away.
Nancy Kwan is very dazzling 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 contain valued although the movie is seen through a Westerner’s eyes. The scenery is extremely absorbing, as Hong Kong surely would not peruse this design again, so the moment in time is a love in itself. I watched this movie about 10 times over a month period because I loved the romantic narrative, the boy meets girl, loses girl formula, the snooty characters and of course William Holden for taking on such an recent narrative.
