  An early CinemaScope film, this remake of "The Black Watch" is an enjoyable adventure ride. Captain Alan King (Tyrone Power) is a half-caste who leads a supply group to a British outpost in India. Tribal attacks, the proverbial love affair with Susan (Terry Moore), who is the daughter of the outpost commander Brig. Gen. J.R. Maitland (Michael Rennie), and racial undertones all contribute to the story.

Love Is a Many Splendored Thing   1955     3 stars    N/R, 102 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Henry King  
Cast: Jennifer Jones, William Holden, Torin Thatcher, Isobel Elsom, Murray Matheson, Richard Loo, Virginia Gregg, Soo Yong, Philip Ahn, Donna Martell

  Yes, the story is pure soap, BUT the film is worthwhile. This story of racial bigotry develops when a Eurasian doctor (Jennifer Jones) falls in love with an American journalist (William Holden). Love triumphs, as did the title song, which won an Oscar. The film won two other Oscars and was nominated for an additional five, including Best Picture and Actress.
