The World of Suzie Wong Reviews
A Very Touching Hong Kong Love Story
William Holden plays Robert Lomax, an American architect who takes a year off from work to pursue his dream of making it as an artist. He moves to Hong Kong and sets up house in a cheap hotel plagued with prostitutes. He uses one, Suzie Wong (played by Eurasian actress Nancy Kwong), as a model for his paintings and she soon falls in love with him. To complicate matters, the daughter of a prominent HK-based British banker also falls for Lomax, and he ultimately must decide between Wong, to whom he seems more attracted but whose occupational background he finds troubling, and the more socially prominent Englishwoman.
Given that I knew what the basic story was about, I had low expectations for this film. I just found it hard to imagine a character played by William Holden getting serious with a hooker; however, the film evolves in a way that makes it all believable. The viewer will sympathize with Suzie Wong's plight and will feel for both Lomax and Wong as they try to overcome the obstacles in their relationship.
Nancy Kwan (whose father was Chinese and whose mother was a British fashion model) was a sex symbol in the 1960s and, when you see her in this film, it is easy to understand why.
THe World of Suzie Wong
I would rate this movie as one of the best Love Stories out there. William Holden is one of my all time favorite actors. He is so smooth when he does a picture, you cannot believe he is acting. Nancy Kwan (Suzie Wong)in her first big role, is awesome and beautiful. This movie has drama, which makes it even more wonderful to watch. Highly recommend this movie.
