Hong Kong in it's early days was such a special place and this film shows it . So so different to mainland China. Nothing so stunning as Hong Kong even today .
I am 72 years old and The World of Suzie Wong has been my favorite movie since I first saw The World of Suzie Wong when I was 20 years old! Thank you UA-cam for letting me buy my favorite movie. Now I can watch my favorite movie any time I want to!
I was raised as an American in Hong Kong. I saw this in the 90s in the middle of the night when i was a teenager. It still resonates with me 30 years later as a story of not being able to control who you love despite your best efforts. I was sad to find out that Nancy was old enough to be my grandmother.
Interesting to see the old Hong Kong. Wonder what it looked like 60 years ago. Beautiful Nancy and handsome William with traditional Southern China back drop. Terrific !
miss the good old days....i love this movie and it filmed in good old hong kong,it has changed completely after the years,sign.....William Holden looked very cool in this film❤❤❤
I grew up in love with William Holden. He was an international person and I could relate to that. Susie Wong was the most important of his movies to me. Wonderful. I bet he's having a good time in heaven.
Hong Kong in 1960 was still very traditional and sixty years ago we can still see a lot of trishaw pullers or riders.Such scenes have long disappeared from Hong Kong and it is very sadly.
Love this movie starred Nancy Kwan and William Holden. A love story of East meet West in the Orient Pearl Hong Kong. This is a Eastman Kodak Picture and color effects magnificent.
Hi Rebecca,me too I am 76 years old and first watched Suzi Wong in 1960 and loved the whole atmospher of HK but not the poverty.It was a dream to become a Police Officer in HK but alas not to be.Nice movie bringing to the public that behind the prosperity of HK many were in desperate need that were hidden in poor districts with being exploited by the many visitors there. Be Blessed.
In 60s, all my teachers wore London Fog raincoat, no matter rain or shine like William Holden. Most likely, they are all gone. I would try to find out if Nancy Kwan was still alive. I saw her and William on Hollywood Road where this film was shot.
loved this movie fell in love with a Chinese women latter in life after my wife died of 26 years of marriage 1960 love story seen this movie when I was 15 just know some day would find a Chinese women and I did from Northern China Changchun
Really enjoyed the movie and reading the book now. Only passed through the transit terminal in Hong Kong so never got to experience the city, but the opening of the film is similar to street scenes I’ve experienced in Rangoon, Bangkok, old school parts of Singapore, Hanoi, and parts of Bali, Cambodia and Malaysia, not to mention Stockton Street in San Francisco’s Chinatown and some sections of CA’s Little Saigons. And the Nam Kok bar scenes remind me of overpriced drinks I’ve bought over conversations with bar girls in a number of seedy establishments in various Wanchai-type areas around SE Asia. Hopefully I can check out Hong Kong some day.
It's barely like that anymore. Wanchai is still shady though LOL. Stick to Hanoi & Cambodia. The opening scene on the Star Ferry is still like that though! The cross-harbour ride is the cheapest tourist attraction in HK haha.
Nancy Kwan (then only 20 years old) became my first movie-star "crush" when I first saw this movie as a youngster. It's hard to believe that this movie is now 55 years old! And TCM didn't celebrate it's 50th !!!! Shame on you, TCM
She was only 20?? She acts with such grace and elegance - would've placed her as a veteran in her 30s in this picture. Also makes it even more uncomfortable to watch the middle-aged Holden gawk and sketch her on the ferry....
I remember running thru old photos of my grandpa and one such photo showed my gramps wining and dining with William Holden and Cantonese opera singer 新馬仔. I'm gonna guess this was taken around the time this movie was being shot. 😂😂
Love this film. Assumption: A city ruled by the British, the public workers don't speak English. Assumption: all Americans are rich. I enjoy the scenery of 1960s Hong Kong. By the protests these days, seems many are not supporting Hong Kong being in China's hands.
@@ericluk68 Thats BS, im from hk, i know more than you, the vast majority of hk people are pro china, we all know our chinese history no matter how the west paints it, without the CCP china would be like africa in the 70s.
HDsharp without ccp, China was like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, these countries or places where the peoples are all mainly made up of ethnic Chinese. Now China can only reach the lowest average GDP, and the worst human right and democracy level in comparing with any ethnic Chinese countries/places. BTW, stop barking about Africa. It is a continent where you can find some great countries.
@@ericluk68 What? you are mad! you dont have a clue about Chinese history, stop spreading lies...China has always been ruled by a single enity through dynasties, it was never like singapore before the CCP...Actually since you mentioned Singapore, china after Mao modeled their system partly on Singapore. And HK was a Chinese port and was only different after England colonised it you plonker. You really need to go back to school. China has acheived no other nation have in the last 4 decades, lifting 600 million people out of poverty, in China anyone can acheive success with the ability to vote in their leaders, you heared me, China do have local elections, president Xi was voted into the main job by merit not by popularity, u idiot. And please dont mention human right when the US implements curfews on large protests and US cops executes cilivilans on US streets. The west at least Americans are in no position to preach human rights! because they are no better with their aweful history and warmongering leaders who have killed millions of innocent people around the world.
Found this on the Net: Locations Although set in Wanchai, the film featured locations from around Hong Kong, sometimes misrepresenting their geographical promiximity for cinematic effect. The film serves as a valuable historical record of 1960s Hong Kong. Locations seen in the film include Tsim Sha Tsui, Central/Sheung Wan (especially around Ladder Street), Yau Ma Tei, Sai Ying Pun, Aberdeen and Telegraph Bay.[7]
Princess Alexandra : wan chai is the place for “girls” since 2nd world war (I think). Most of People in H K are not rich. And the minority are extremely rich !!
It's 60's honey!! People of 60's have hard financial same as in indonesia 60's the era of boom children... so don't be sensitive honey.. try to understand the situasion in 60's than now honey!

...and Nancy Kwan was/is a very beautiful woman.
I cry when I saw the son of Suzie Wong in this movie. He is almost a reflection of myself during this period in Hong Kong.
The wonder year of memory lost and found. Too young to know but never too old to revisit.
I grew up in love with William Holden. He was an international person and I could relate to that. Susie Wong was the most important of his movies to me. Wonderful. I bet he's having a good time in heaven.
看此片回忆老香港的美丽，就説天星小轮头等楼上完全独立，二等下層迎着维多利亜港吹着海风有时会看到手摇山坂小艇較有真实感。或许衹有在這般老电影能给一些逝去时光无限回忆霞想。感谢上传🥃👌🥃👌🥃👌
英國殖民統治的香港比回歸中國統治好，但中國人民自以為是優秀民族把中國以為的民族當成野蠻、沒文明，台灣目前被中國難民佔領連自己是誰都忘了

The star ferry looks exactly the same after 60 years 😊
First movie I watched when I was 10 years old.. I still remember William Holden , a great and handsome actor.
The ferry pier and bus terminal at the beginning is still in use (Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier)! Good old Hong Kong.
Love this movie starred Nancy Kwan and William Holden. A love story of East meet West in the Orient Pearl Hong Kong. This is a Eastman Kodak Picture and color effects magnificent.
Great shots of Hong Kong in 1960. This is an archive!
One of the best films in the early sixties 😊
當年用好靚菲林, 專業器林, 大燈光拍攝, 把當年街景拍得很清晰, 無意中成就歷史景物 !
I just loved this film. Suite Wong - so cute and William Holden - what a great actor and so handsome.
The company should make a Blu-Ray for this movie.
Good Movie. Nancy kwan so Beautiful. THE WORLD OF SUSIE WONG.
The novel by Richard Mason is a masterpiece (1957)
Star Ferry hasn't changed for 60 years ! Amazing.
Wow .. Old Hong Kong ..

Star Ferry must be the best conserved part of Hong Kong. Little change after 60 years still in operation.

This is awesome...
6 years before the 1966 Hong Kong Ocean Terminal at the beginning of this movie.

The fascinating HK in the 60s, the segregation of the rich and the commoners in HK. Out of my imagination. I am 70 now.

I was in Hong Kong when this was being filmed, and it shows almost exactly what was real at that time.
It’s not much about the racism, but more about the colonization of the “west continues”. Of course include some of racism
This movie is unrealistic. People don't get aside that easily for healthy men to sit down on public transport.
This film is very problematic viewed in today’s lens. Full of toxic white knight tropes and damaging eastern stereotypes.
You're problematic.
Zip it, pinhead.
Film needs a Blu-Ray, along with It Started In Naples. You upload is poor quality, way below DVD. Maybe ok for a phone, but then what's that good for?
and you contributed what ? you paid how much to watch ? how did you help ? then i think it best that you sit down and be quiet. that is all...
