Description
The charm, grace and novelty of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s 1958 Broadway hit has been wonderfully translated to the
screen in this hit 1961 romantic musical. A four-way love story set in San Francisco’s Chinatown, the four are
Nancy Kwan, a
gold-digging, husband-hungry nightclub dancer; Jack Soo, a well-meaning nightclub owner; James Shigeta, most eligible
bachelor in Chinatown; and Miyoshi Umeki, a mail-order bride and illegal immigrant ticketed for nuptials with Soo. Features rousing orchestrations and charming song-and-dance interludes.
