* It's quickly forgotten because of the earthquake climax, but Kay does mention that someone is interested in Robert's paintings - so it looks like he will be able to make a living as an artist after all.
* A meta one - journalist HY Nahm admitted to growing up hating the film due to its reputation [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch among those who haven't seen it]]. After interviewing Nancy Kwan - who defended the film and her character - Nahm sat down to watch it and enjoyed it.
--> "As awful as it sounds, I can't dislike the film. I come away with an appreciation for Kwan's beauty and talent."

** To elaborate, it's a part of Suzie's characterization that she's been made to feel inferior to the rich white expats of Hong Kong, and she tried to mold herself into the image of an ideal European woman as Ben's mistress. This moment shows her pretty much going "fuck it, I'm going to be myself" - abandoning English propriety to be with the man she loves. BigDamnKiss.



* A bittersweet one is the presence of Minnie Ho and Gwennie Lee [[spoiler: at the funeral for Suzie's son. It's implied they never knew Suzie had a child, but they make things to burn on the pyre for him]]. TrueCompanions to the end.

Added DiffLines:

* When Robert finally admits his feelings for Suzie, she says she has to leave because if she is to be like "nice, English girl" then she can't stay with him the first time he asks. She leaves the room, pauses and then goes back inside to say that it's now tomorrow - so they can be together.
* Early in the film Gwennie says she hopes to open her own knitting shop, and Robert casually asks for a pair of socks. Later after Suzie has disappeared and Robert is worried sick, Gwennie [[CallBack produces a pair of socks]] for him. A little thing but it clearly makes Robert feel better.
* A bittersweet one is the presence of Minnie Ho and Gwennie Lee [[spoiler: at the funeral for Suzie's son. It's implied they never knew Suzie had a child, but they make things to burn on the pyre for him]]. TrueCompanions to the end.
* And the closing line between the lovers right after [[spoiler: Robert proposes]].
--> '''Suzie:''' Robert, I'll be with you until you say "Suzie, go away."
--> '''Robert:''' That long?
