Added 8/12/2009
Rodgers and Hammerstein musical set in Chinatown San Francisco. A mail order bride from China stows away on a freighter to an arranged marriage in San Francisco. But who is she supposed to marry? The night club owner? The rich playboy? And what about the showgirl?

As with all Rogers and Hammerstein movies the music and photography are wonderful.
San Francisco in the 1950's. What a time!

Fond Memories
Added 6/11/2009
I purchased this DVD because I remember seeing Flower Drum Song on television when I was growing up. As an Asian woman, it was one of the few things that I saw in the media that protrayed Asians (both men and women) as actually people rather than stereotypes. Sure, the movie has some less than politically correct moments, but overall it was groundbreaking at the time. Plus, the songs are actually good! Warning: there is a danger that the songs will get stuck in your head!

Love story of an Artist and a Beatiful Asian Girl
Added 10/20/2009
A lovely story of an aging artist and a beautiful young girl set in Hong Kong. Its very comical when they meet and as the story unfolds he likes her but the life she leads. I found the Bar-Girls a lively group and very cute. As the story progress's it is interesting how much compassion Holden has for Suzie. When the rains come and you see the destruction it causes you feel sorry for the people whose lives and shacks are destroyed. The endingss is very sad but sends a message of hope.
