Good Attempt at healing US/Japanese relations!!, 19 May 2003
7/10
Author: olddiscs from Fords, NJ

pleasant family fare which also makes an attempt to understand the Japanese & their culture..Attempts might seem dated now but in 1957 Pearl Harbor was still fresh in the minds of Americans..This film tries to overcome the animosities between the nations..Harmless, pleasant well paced and well acted..Jon Provost was a very good young actor.. as was the oriental young boy (sorry dont know his name)
