(1955) Love Is A Many Spendored Thing.
ROMANCE/ DRAMA.
Based on a true story about a half Eurasion/ half Chinese girl, Dr. Han Suyin played by Jennifer Jones and her controversial rendevous with an already married reporter Mark Elliot while living in Hong Kong, China!
Considered to be taboo at the time because of it's subject matter about race relations and upholding traditions, especially if one is a mixed! One of the major problems with this film is that it doesn't dwell on this controversy long enough and showcases the two leading actors bonding witrh each other which anyone can see from their soap operas etc... The other problem is that out of many true stories coming from people, this one is the most uninteresting one of all in comparison to what one could find on a newspaper or the local news for that matter!
Won 3 Oscars including "Best Song" out of 9 nominations!
2 out of 4.
