      Japanese Governor: Why do Americans continually misunderstand us?

      Johnny Williams: I can't imagine.

      Japanese Governor: I dislike to say it; but, your countrymen are sometimes a little stupid. And I hope you will not be stupid, Mr. Williams. I will regret, deeply, having to regard you as a spy, rather than a friend.

    watch They Met in Bombay instead..
    Stars Gene Tierney and George Montgomery, Victor McLaglen. They are stuck in burma during WWII. Johnny Williams is a photographer, and the japanese want him to photograph what's going on at the Burma Corridor. And of course, he gets caught up with a girl and her problems. Sig Ruman was in all those Marx Brothers films. Mostly known for his comedy, here, he's Jarubi, the dealer of artifacts. And information. Keep an eye out for nine year old Robert Blake... was in Little Rascals, and later, Beretta! Montgomery seems to be channeling clark gable... very similar plot. They Met in Bombay had just come out in 1941. Story by Mellvill Grossman. Directed by Henry Hathaway, who had been nominated for Bengal Lancer in 1935. It's okay.
