A prim young Chinese woman on the Kowloon ferry accuses a middle-aged American of stealing her purse--thus begins a culture-clash romance. Seeking to escape his stifled life, Robert (William Holden, Stalag 17, Sunset Boulevard) has come to Hong Kong to become an artist. He rediscovers the girl from the ferry and learns she is not what she seemed; she's a prostitute named Suzie Wong (Nancy Kwan, Flower Drum Song). Though Robert resists her charms, she becomes his model, and their relationship grows surprisingly complex. While The World of Suzie Wong can be patronizing and has some dubious interpretations of Chinese manners and mores, it's also sophisticated (in a censored sort of way) about love, sex, and social pressure. A viewer may scoff at the child-like hookers, yet find the movie accumulates an unexpected emotional force, particularly through its exploration of how the characters maintain their illusions. --Bret Fetzer

 MOvie DVD - World of Suzie Wong June 14, 2008
This is the greatest movie of all time. I highly reccommend anyone to watch this and then find a better family entertainment of any kind. Very, very good.
Great Movie! May 24, 2008
This movie is one of my all time favorites! I remember seeing it on television as a child, and having it leave an indelible impression on me. I give it a definite thumbs up!
 Who wouldn't fall in love with Suzie Wong? February 27, 2008
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.
 The World of Suzie Wong February 13, 2008
The World of Suzie Wong is a masterpiece that many movies being made today could take a lesson from the acting in it is outstanding and Nancy Kwan as Suzie Wong is simlpy beautiful. She has the looks and comes across with an act of having a hard edge to her charcter but you can tell her character is very insecure and you find yourself wanting to reach out and help her. William Holden is Fantastic as a struggling painter who falls for Suzie also this movie is the best I've ever seen and I think alot of people who have not seen it before would love it too... check it out you won't be sorry
The World of Suzie Wong February 11, 2008
The movie is okay but watching two hours of Nancy Kwan makes it worth it!
