Flower Drum Song Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Marjory Adams
This is genuine holiday joy-making, and the Rodgers tunes give zip and romance to the film.
Los Angeles Times
John L. Scott
The plot is flimsy, but it serves as an adequate framework for the bright dances and some clever songs.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Myles Standish
Breezy, appealing, splashy with color, wistful on occasion, and embellished by the tuneful score.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
Scenery of rich hues. Costumes of flashy color. An investiture of eye-compelling brilliance to make the tones of the rainbow look tarnished. You get it all in this rather wistful melody play.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinée
If you're looking for something light and bright and colorful, this film version of the Rodgers and Hammer-stein musical should fill the bill.
America Magazine
Moira Walsh
This picture is pleasant enough entertainment.
New York Daily News
Wanda Hale
With movie musicals a rarity today, Ross Hunter contributed one of beauty and charm that fulfills the need...
Christian Science Monitor
John Beaufort
A passably pleasant film.
Buffalo News
Jeanette Eichel
Flower Drum Song is well endowed with music, [and] beauty.
Philadelphia Daily News
Sandra Saunders
Toe-tapping, super-scale screen musical.
Washington Star
Jay Carmody
It is sweet, sentimental, sad and seemingly endless.
Newsday
Ben Kubasik
Flower Drum Song wasn't very good as a Broadway musical. It's worse as a movie.
Detroit Free Press
Louis Cook
A long way from being the best of Rodgers and Hammerstein efforts.
Newsweek
Newsweek Staff
The movie sports two nice Rodgers and Hammerstein songs ("I Enjoy Being a Girl" and "Don't Marry Me") and a graceful dream ballet.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Henry T. Murdock
Flower Drum Song is going to please almost every type of audience.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Elston Brooks
Beats out solid, tuneful film.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Songs can sometimes redeem a musical, but here the songs themselves are are beyond redemption.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
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.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
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.
Variety
Variety Staff
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.
