Holden is American architect Robert Lomax, who travels to Hong Kong to paint. He meets Suzie Wong (Nancy Kwan), an attractive woman who passes herself off as a high-society heiress. It is with great surprise that Robert spots her in a Hong Kong dive entertaining a bunch of sailors. It turns out that Suzie is a prostitute and Robert has observed her plying her trade. Suzie proposes that Robert put her up as a kept woman, but Robert will hear nothing of it, preferring to use her as a model for his paintings instead. Suzie then becomes involved with playboy Ben Marlowe (Michael Wilding), while Robert meets Kay O'Neill (Sylvia Syms), a British banker's daughter, who helps Robert to sell his paintings. But Ben breaks off his relationship with Suzie and Kay, uncomfortable with Suzie the prostitute posing for Ben, leaves him. Abandoned by their lovers and thrown together, the two become involved, with tragic consequences. Paul Brenner, Rovi

A beautiful East meets West love story between a couple who meet in Hong Kong in the 1960's. I first read a copy of the book and then I saw the film. Both are wonderful examples of how things were and I felt swept away by it all especially when Robert could not find Suzie and how he went in search of her through all the backstreets. Although I have travelled through Asia, I have yet to call in on Hong Kong and hope to do so one day and 'revisit' this magical place which put Suzie Wong and Robert Lomax firmly in my heart again and again whenever I read the book or watch the film.

What a World!
I have always loved this movie ,although not critically acclaimed this movie has a certain charm and mystic quality about it ,and Nancy Kwan is totally enchanting as the title character,William Holden looks a bit uncomfortable but I won't hold that against him but the real star of the movie is the city of Hong Kong and her people,kudos to the cinematographer for a job well done!! if you like travel and romance then you'll love this movie.
