(Flash Review)
Life for Japanese and Americans forming relationships in Japan while the two big bombs are fresh in memory is a challenge. Nobody better tell Brando who he can be with or not. Not even the American military who try very hard to break apart or sabotage mixed culture relationships. This is certainly a film centered around culture and the cavernous division between the former enemy countries. Set in picturesque Japanese locations, showcasing several dance performances with elaborate costumes, the film portrays the harsh challenges to sustain that type of relationship. Brando was great with his performance as was the supporting cast.
