The death this past week of the wonderful and stunning Jennifer Jones at the age of 90 reminded me of a favorite film-Love is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955). Eurasian doctor (Jennifer Jones) falls madly in love with the wrong man-white and married war correspondent (William Holden). With its gorgeous Hong Kong locations, beautiful people, clothes, and cars, and hauntingly timeless song, this classic tear jerker is a Chinoiserie must see. Rent it over the holidays. I has one of the best lines ever-"We shall now drink tea and speak of absurdities."

I loved this movie, especially as I lived in HK, (as a child from 1967). Such a different place now.
I must try to get this movie!
Great flick. Jennifer Jones was the epitome of glamour. I only wish more modern actresses had her taste and class!
Greet-It's quite wonderful.
Columnist-I'm sure it was gorgeous.
Lady Jicky-You'll enjoy it.
