Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: With an impotent screen play, it is no wonder that Mr. Holden and Miss Jones find themselves going around in narrowing circles, talking endlessly and holding hands.
Fresh: It's an unusual picture shot against authentic Hong Kong backgrounds and offbeat in its treatment, yet as simple and moving a love story as has come along in many a moon.
Rotten: The film is the quintessence of a certain kind of 50s schlock.
Fresh: Slushy but touching stuff and Jennifer Jones is full of charm.
