A somewhat dated interracial love story., 6 May 1999
5/10
Author: cricket-14 from Bloomfield, New Jersey

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.
