Hollywood Ladies: Jennifer Jones in Love is a Many-Splendored Thing

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring William Holden, Jennifer Jones

This story of love across the barriers of prejudice and tradition was one of the most successful of Hollywood's romantic dramas.

Han Suyin, a young recently-widowed Eurasian doctor, meets Mark Elliot, an American journalist who is unhappily married. She rejects him at first, but he is insistent and a passionate affair ensues...

Based on a bestselling autobiographical novel, the film won an Academy Award for its haunting title song.
