Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing
This movie is mediocre at best. Holden and Jones are fine, though i don’t see their chemistry often enough to make it good. Also the interracial parts of this story are complicated and dumb for obvious reasons

A very charming watch with some great performances, colorful cinematography, and memorable music. It's screenplay has a few flaws (with some unnecessary moments and a rushed conclusion) and the cross-fade editing was a bit distracting but it wasn't a boring watch, rather a pleasant one.
