Review of The Crimson Kimono (1959) by Art S — 19 Dec 2015
Interesting picture from writer/director Samuel Fuller about a Japanese LA police detective, James Shigeta (who modern audiences will know as Joe Takagi from "Die Hard") investigating the murder of a stripper who falls in love with a key witness, who happens to be a white woman.
Takagi encounters racism from his white partner and other around him. The film lacks some focus, whether it wants to be about Takagi and the witness, Victoria Shaw, or if it wants to be about the murder mystery.
Still, as with most Fuller films, even when the film isn't perfect, it's always interesting.
