      Flower Drum Song has been overwhelmed by the sheer opulence and glamour with which Ross Hunter has translated it to the screen. As a film, it emerges a curiously unaffecting, unstable and rather undistinguished experience. ( Read More )

    • TV Guide Staff

      There arent too many memorable tunes in the score, but the pictures pleasant enough if youre willing to overlook the storys cliches and the stereotypical characterizations of immigrant Chinese. ( Read More )
