Since colorfulness and pleasant music were the strong points in Flower Drum Song... when it bloomed on the Broadway stage, it is notable that the film version stresses those qualities and does well enough by others.

The stage show was the usual product of the R. & H. collaboration... In the movie nothing of value has been eliminated, but nothing of interest has been added.

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.

Underrated Rogers and Hammerstein musical
August 25, 2020 | Full Review… -
Performances, from top to bottom, are nothing short of superb.

Like most of the Rodgers-and-Hammerstcin musicals, this one probably is headed for success at the movie box-office, but in honest warmth and melodic appeal it compares weakly with its predecessors.

Dec 29, 2009Plenty of great songs. My favorite is probably "Love Look Away," and it's tough to beat the appeal of a young Nancy Kwan in her absolute prime. Amazing to see Miyoshi Umeki in a romantic lead as well. I will miss her.Lanning : Super Reviewer
