Flower Drum Song

By Wendy

What a dumb movie. What a weird, racist, sexist movie. What a lot of pointless, endless choreography. What a ludicrous plot.

What fun!


Not all of it--much is just too dumb, weird, racist, sexist, etc. But there are many talented performers, and Rodgers provides his usual and wonderful gorgeous melodies. Some of the sexism is actually kind of funny. And it's an interesting snapshot of what was considered acceptable, even advanced, by a certain bunch of people at a certain point of time.
