American Cinematheque presents a double-feature screening of To Whom it May Concern: Ka Shen's Journey and Flower Drum Song at The Egyptian. To Whom it May Concern is a documentary following actress Nancy Kwan from her birth in Hong Kong to her big-screen debut in 1960 and her subsequent career in film and television. The film offers both a portrait of a successful performer and insight into the changing roles of Asian women in American society in recent decades. Next up is a 50th-anniversary screening of the 1961 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Flower Drum Song. Mei Li (Miyoshi Umeki) arrives in San Francisco for an arranged marriage, but husband-to-be Sammy Fong (Jack Soo) is more interested in Linda Low (Nancy Kwan), a singer at his nightclub. While their parents feel bound by tradition, Mei Li and Sammy would prefer to follow their hearts - something that becomes easier to do when it turns out that another young man (James Shigeta) also is looking for a bride. The film features choreography by Hermes Pan and such memorable songs as "I Enjoy Being a Girl." Kwan herself will appear between films for discussion.

The event ran long due to an extended Q & A session. However, we enjoyed both features. We were a bit disappointed about the change in parking accommodations, as the website for the Egyptian theater hadn't been updated.

Loved seeing and meeting Nancy Kwan and hearing her story in the documentary (although a bit long.) Flower Drum Song was fabulous - and enjoyed that so many other actors in the film also attended the event.
