"Don't go away stay with me".Aww ok William just call me LOL.He's so sweet in this film and looks great.Thanks for uploading.

[varadero1839]

@WilliamHoldenfan You're right! He was the perfect age for this role, and seeing him here is a treasure. You're so welcome! I'm honored by your comment, and wish you a Happy New Year!

[Rico8458]

He is one of our greatest Kings of cinema.

@amirtoma Dear amirtoma, I hope one day soon you'll be able to view this entire video! It's kind of astonishing, for many reasons. Mr. Holden seems to stretch beyond even his abilities here. The real revelation is marvelous Nancy Kwan, actually her 1st serious film debut! Would that I had the entire film; no such luck! Please look for it! It's truly a gem! Thanks so much for your mention.

No complaint intended to that point of view! Just had so many seem to look beyond its achievement to damn its 1960 sensibility and pretty-pretty view of Suzie's world. It's was romantic comedy with groundbreaking themes and casting for its day-it can be no more. Yet that the performances still charm and touch some reality of relationships after 50 years qualify it as a classic. And if that's your life condensed -all the best with hopes for a sweet (although the movie IS bittersweet) future!

[MrCappy4]

This was her first acting role of any kind beyond being an understudy! Remarkable talent and woman-a rare treasure.

[FinallyTheNight]

This movie is so true-to-life.

[MrCappy4]

@FinallyTheNight How many films prior to 1960-or to this day even, are? Like it or not-it ain't no documentary. If you want more "true to-life" grit than this Hollywood romance intended or was able to depict in 1960 --try to find a Hong Kong film from 1985 called "MY NAME AIN"T SUZIE".

[FinallyTheNight]

@MrCappy4 : Who's complaining? Certainly not me. "The World of Suzie Wong" is my life condensed to 90 minutes.

one of my favorite William Holden movies, I would have given anything to be that girl!!thank you for posting the best romantic scene!!!

[varadero1839]

@MsJune54 Hi MsJune54, Thanks so much for your comment about this scene. Mr. Holden was already a seasoned performer, and Ms. Kwan a relative newcomer, but together their work was so elegant! Wonderful to hear from you!

[ford32deuce]

@MsJune54 I would have given anything to be him!!! Especially, in the earlier scene when she says she forgets her scarf worth 30 Hong Kong dollars. Robert deserves a good ass kicking for not accepting that gift. How could anyone resist those beautiful brown eyes looking up at them?!?!?

[MsJune54]

@ford32deuce yes you're right.....I'm sure every guy that saw this movie fell in love with Suzie......especially when she tells him "I not dirty street girl"......love that line, this movie is all but forgotten now. I have it on vhs and also have the soundtrack on vinyl. They don't make movies like this anymore......

Before nancy kwan uts on the gown william holden comments "akai see tai does anyone know what this chinese phrase is?

[MrCappy4]

@robwasmomsrob -He basicly says "Can I watch!?" Another part of the wonderful teasing humor that any real lovers would have or wish to have-why holden and Kwan are so wonderful together in this film despite its pretty- pretty view of her world and their age difference. Why still, after 50 years, we can laugh and feel its charm and heart.

jaded acting

beautiful woman

[azothdaco]

I saw this as a very young child. I'm an artist...

[azothdaco]

I'm an artist who saw this as a child. It's wonderful....

[phantominca]

She is so adorable! Nancy is such a wonderful actress, esp for one so young (I think she was 18 at filming). So many emotions flash so quickly across her face when Robert says Ben is through w/her and when Robert asks her if he can accompany her to the Bijou. And the various changes in the tone and emotions in her voice in this clip . . . amazing!

A man would have to have an awfully hard heart not to want to wrap her in his arms and comfort her as she cries, "I not dirty street girl!"

[iaurelien]

i loved this movie as a little girl my cousin gave me the vhs once caused i talked about it so much, I was 8yrs old, but I understood and felt her every emotion. please try to get the whole film back up thank you!!!!

[amadokk]

wish you would post entire movie; thanks for clip

[MrBambalini]

About until a month ago the whole film was here on YouTube, but it had been removed because of copyright reasons.

[judygenefan]

Simply beautiful.

[varadero1839]

Thank you so much! I think this is one of the few that, award-wise, "got away!" I'm very grateful.

[dmoore825]

This is a Classic!!

[varadero1839]

You're very kind to mention. Sometimes, the most obvious pieces of beauty seem to escape our attention. Happy for your "eagle-eye" for class and elegance! Thanks again!

[vanwahlgren]

One of my favorite movies. Thanks Wm Holden and Nancy Kwan
