User Reviews

A somewhat dated interracial love story.

Laurence Harvey (of "Butterfield Eight" fame) plays a Eurasian (half-Russian/half-Japanese) photographer living in Japan who longs to go to America.

He is torn between his attraction to the blonde American Martha Hyer and the Japanese Tamiko (France Nuyen).

It has its moments and some glimpses of Japanese culture, but is not the greatest film.
