An absolute miscast of the one actor to make you think he was someone else. Painful to watch! Run, Forest! Run!

Teahouse of the August Moon

"This was a movie on DVD. It had all the promotional material I'd like to know: actors and director, wide or full screen, black and white or color, sound capabilities, etc. A color picture of the actors on the cover was important. If I hadn't seen it, I'd want to know something about the plot. It actually was a popular play just after World War II and then was filmed in the 1950s.
It's about a well-meaning US Army Lieutenant in Okinawa, who is somewhat of a misfit in the service. He is given the job of carrying out the Pentagon plan for reconstruction for a small village there after the war. He is given a rogue of a native interpreter to help, but the people and interpreter have their own ideas about what's good for them. Along the way he is given a Geisha girl, which adds to the confusion. There are many subtle witicisms and body language communicates even more, which helps as there are two languages. He comes to understand their point of view and adapts to what they want of him. They value his kindness, fairness and abilities. It is a humorous look at cultural views and interaction, sometimes with misunderstanding, but how with good will people can work together for a positive outcome."
They just don't make 'em like they used to!

"My parents took me to this film at its opening at Loews, in Manhattan, New York. It is a gem of a movie, filled with characters so vivid and well turned out, that it is easy to immerse yourself in it. Up to that time I had only seen Brando in "On The Waterfront", so the transformation was over-whelming! Glenn Ford always seemed to fit the role of a put-upon Army or Navy subordinate, and Paul Ford, who is never able to cope with the depth and complications of the world outside the military. Throw in Eddie Albert as the mad gardener, and a very young Harry Morgan with a yen for 7-star batata, and you have the makings of an absolutely wonderful story. Never mind the wonderful Japanese actors, who not only lend an aura of authenticity, but are really into the making of their story--which opens your eyes to the importance of other people's traditions and culture. If you don't laugh yourself silly, well -- maybe you just need a shot of 10-star batata!!"

"I took my mother & sister to see this movie back when it first came out in the late 50's....seeing it again brought back some good memories since mom passed away in 2000, and my sister passed away 2 yrs ago, these memories were most welcome.Thank you."
