Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English An American painter living in Hong Kong gets caught up in the affairs of a local woman named Suzie Wong -- not realizing that she works as a prostitute. Suzie lies to him about her past and her present, desperately attempts to overcome his reluctance to sleep with her, and competes with the upper-class daughter of an American daughter for his affections.
Despite all the deception, an unlikely romance eventually develops between the two. He suspects, however, that he does not know the entire truth about her. Ultimately, he does discover her secret -- but not before tragedy changes their lives forever. This romantic drama deals with the love and interracial relationship between a struggling American artist (William Holden) and a beautiful Chinese prostitute (Nancy Kwan). Filmed on location in Hong Kong, this melodrama has become noted for its treatment of Asian stereotypes and interracial relationships, and provides a compelling story about the resolve of true emotion and love. The film, "The World of Suzie Wong," is based on the stage play, which was adapted by Paul Osborn from the Richard Mason source novel.

World Of Suzie Wong Movie Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   William Holden at his best.
Super acting by Williams Holden as an Artist disenchanted with life, living in the East. Nancy Kwan delivers a wonderful touching piece as the eponymous Suzie Wong who slowly falls for him. Good story, Great performances, and a fine piece of cinema.

 AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC
William Holden (great in just about everything) gave on of his best performances in this exotic and memorable film set in 60's Hong Kong. I've waited years for this to come to DVD. The casting is superb, the quality excellent, and the story enchanting (though predictable). Place this in the same category as "Roman Holiday", "It Started in Naples" and "Cannery Row" (these latter two not on DVD yet, regretably). Highly recommended for your DVD library in the "heartwarming" category.

Suzy Wong and Hong Kong Perfect
Paramount did a wonderful job transfering this film to DVD. Gorgeous color and wonderful sound. I have always loved this film and the transfer is almost 3-D like in parts. For a few hours go to the far east and see a romatic story with two great stars.

$22.59
Former engineer Shane Carruth announces himself as a force to watch with PRIMER, his first film. Carruth wrote, directed, edited, produced, photographed, scored, and stars in the film, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. He plays Aaron, who, with his business partner and best friend, Abe (David Sullivan), experiments with a device that seems to have more power than they could ever have imagined. Playing with batteries, refrigeration, and other techniques and materials in Aaron's garage, they discover that their machine just might have the ability to move back in time. Originally dealing with Weebles figures and wristwatches, Aaron and Abe are soon considering making a box large enough to transport a human being--with remarkable results.
An indie hit, PRIMER was made for about $7,000. Carruth shot the film with a purposefully grainy look, as if it were made in the 1970s. The retro feel works well with the futuristic elements of the story, which lead Abe and Aaron to question reality, ...
