Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing is a 1955 American romantic drama film directed by Henry King, based on the 1952 autobiographical novel A Many-Splendoured Thing by Han Suyin.Set in 1949–50 in Hong Kong during the Chinese Civil War, the film tells the story of married, but separated, American reporter Mark Elliott (William Holden), who falls in love with Eurasian doctor Han Suyin (Jennifer Jones). Although they find happiness together, Han is ostracized and prejudiced by her family and by the greater Chinese community.Nominated for eight Academy Awards, winning for Alfred Newman's music score, Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster's Title Theme Tune, and Charles LeMaire's costume design.The film later inspired the 1967–73 CBS Soap Opera Love Is a Many Splendored Thing (notice that it's written without the hyphen), which at first was a sort of Spin-Off that centered around Mia Elliott, the daughter of Mark and Han, going to San Francisco to live with her father's family; however, around half a year in the character was written out (due at least in part to network censors' concerns over having an interracial couple as the leads) and the show focused afterwards on the Elliott and Donnelly families.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Maligned Mixed Marriage | |
| Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing / int_661d7909 | comment |
Maligned Mixed Marriage: Han Suyin's family and Chinese society as a whole ostracize her due to her relationship with the Caucasian Mark Elliott. And as indicated by several snide comments, white society isn't too pleased either. | |

But Not Too Foreign | |
| Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing / int_6f66bef7 | comment |
But Not Too Foreign: The movie goes out of its way to state that Han Suyin is Eurasian, that is, is a person of mixed Asian and European ancestry. | |

Match Cut: From the bomb being dropped on Mark somewhere in Korea, to a spilled cup at Suyin's house, signaling that Mark is dead. | |
