The World of Suzie Wong (1960), which was the first mainstream Hollywood film to have an all-Asian cast, tells the story of an aspiring American artist who relocates to Hong Kong and falls in love with Suzie Wong, a prostitute with a "heart of gold".

That soul-searching cross-cultural romance, the true love beyond social rules and the images of Hong Kong brilliantly and sensuously conveyed half a century ago makes the movie a timeless classic for many people. The name Suzie Wong conjures up images of a slim, exotic Asian woman with almond eyes, dressed in a cheongsam with a thigh-high slit that teases with a now-you-see-the-skin-and-now-you-don't allure.
