............................

It was the best documentary I have ever seen! It was amazing how Brian interwove the various movies she had done and the HK Ballet Performance of World of Suzie Wong back and forth into her reflections. It was really motivating and moving. I was in tears.
Nancy Kwan is an amazing person and it was so brave of her to share her personal life with us all. I never realized she encountered such personal hardships and sorrows.
Roberta Wong / American Women Association

............................

First of all, I would like to thank you, for bringing such a wonderful movie to this world. It was so touching and meaningful, and I burst into tears !!! I’m sure it’s the result that Nancy’s story touched you in the very beginning.
I want to say how much I love this movie, but you’re keep talking on the phone after the pre-view, I’ve no chance to show my respect and adoration to you .
Anyway, I really want to introduce this movie to our readers and I’m sure they might love it like the way I do, I sincerely request a couple of screen photos from the movie so that I can put into my write-up. Especially the pictures of Nancy and Bernhard, also the poster of the movie.
I’m going to publish my article on Nancy Kwan on Monday, and looking forwards to hear your positive feedback. I will send you a softcopy when it published.
A great success of your movie, and enjoy your time in Hong Kong.

CATHAY PACIFIC IN-FLIGHT MAGAZINE celebrates The World Of Suzie Wong

The June 2010 edition of Cathy Pacific Airlines in-flight magazine features an interview with Nancy Kwan. The World Of Suzie Wong is being shown on long-haul and selected regional flights to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1960 film. Click here to see article.

..............................

Just looked at your wonderful film ... so sensitive and loving ... delicate as those beautiful watercolors sprinkled throughout the film...

"To Whom It May Concern" says the young Suzie Wong, breathing her message to those who would protect her child in the afterlife...and then those words come back to us years later when Nancy's son must also depart this world all too early in his life... And spanning those two poles of life and death, you bring us Nancy's own story, a spray of images that span worlds and cultures and years.  A beautiful symmetry, yes, but a dark one--as William Blake once wrote, "What hand dare frame thy terrible symmetry..."

Your hand.

And WE are the ones who now receive that message; WE who the ones "To whom...".

Thank you.

An email to Bob Butler - Film critic of the Kansas City Star:-

As you know Bob, if Alice Faye is not connected with a film I am not excited about it, however, Nancy Kwan in an important international star that graced the covers of hundreds of magazines world-wide, including LIFE. She was a sensation in films like FLOWER DRUM SONG and WORLD OF SUSIE WONG with William Holden. She is unique and important in the history of movies. I am excited about Nancy Kwan and this movie.

Without the Alice Faye connection I find this film extremely beautiful, moving, interesting and surprisingly, pulls the heart strings in a professional fashion in an unexpected conclusion. I believe you will be impressed and moved by it. I know audiences will be!

Wade Williams, Exhibitor
