Review

Though not one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's best musicals, this pleasant adaptation of their Broadway show manages to capture some lightheartedness and whimsical spirits. It's a tale about the conflict of old and new traditions in San Francisco's Chinatown district. The score's best songs include "I Enjoy Being a Girl" and "A Hundred Million Miracles."

Umeki-riffic

HOMUSICALO wrote on 03/10/2007:

As the review states this is not one of R&H's masterworks. Nevertheless I give this movie 3 stars for 1 reason, Miyoshi Umeki.
Best known for her role as Mrs. Livingston in the television series "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" her performance as Mei Li is nothing short of Oscar caliber.
She stands out most remarkably in this film surrounded as she is by so many over-sized, over-the-top performances by her fellow actors.
Miyoshi Umeki by contrast is a study in restraint, the slightest gesture, the smallest movement, the tiniest change of expression, and she projects an complete range of complex emotion. A not-to-be-missed performance.
