COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Tale of interracial prejudice in Hong Kong submitted by willow on August 18, 2015, 1:14pm William Holden plays a white, married reporter in a relationship with Eurasian doctor from China, played by (white American) actress Jennifer Jones, and the drama and prejudice that results. Minimal makeup was used to Asianify Jones, perhaps due to the controversial nature of the topic.
