Me thinks the only one left now is "Flower Drum Song", based on the show that adapted the novel of the same name by C.Y. Lee.
But I'll log off for today too, so if I'm right, somebody else can take over.

"The Flower Drum Song" was a novel by C.Y. Lee published in 1957, but there are lots of differences in the adaptation. One of the most prominent is the protagonist, which in the novel is Wang Chi-yang, an older man who resists assimilation and refuses the American lifestyle clinging to the old Chinese traditions; with the exception of two words he even refuses to speak English. He is an important character in the Musical too, but more or less just supporting as the Musical plot centers on his son Ta and the love story with Mei Li.
The novel has lots of darker elements too, including a suicide, which the Musical completely eliminated.
Okay, I have a movie.
