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, <I>Stalag 17</I>, <I>Sunset Boulevard</I>) 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, <I>Flower Drum Song</I>). Though Robert resists her charms, she becomes his model, and their relationship grows surprisingly complex. While <I>The World of Suzie Wong</I> 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. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I>
Viewer Reviews when i purchased the products there were no indications they could not be played in Australia. I asked for a replacement and were not willing to help me they just gave me the run around
