Review of Sayonara (1957) by Vanya M — 04 Apr 2012
As a former military person, I can feel for the people here. Brando plays an AF officer stationed in Japan, who is captivated by this Japanese singer who just happens to be the TOP singer in Japan; simple enough, but at the time after WW2 and just before Korea, fraternizing with the local women was a serious NO NO.
On top of that, he is engaged to a general's daughter that doesn't help matters none and dealing with the racial stereotypes and bias comes to greet him. A great movie.
