Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - The World of Suzie Wong
My mother actually bought it and I haven't yet actually watched it right through. She finds it a very good movie.
Rating:  - The World of Suzie Wong
The sound volume reduces after about 20 minutes then goes completely off.
I will be returning this movie soon.
If any of the others do the same I will return all of my purchases and never buy again.

Rating:  - An excellant love story
Holden is great, and Nancy Kwan as beautiful as she is just dropped out of sight after this movie. A tear jerker, but a good one as to the way the real orient is!

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.

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!
