Pako

An american little boy saves himself from a crashed plane, being helped by a Japanese kid. The boy surviving a plane crash and his Japanese mate set out in look for their parents by going to city of Tokyo on their own. En route they become involved into several troubles , dangers and adventures. As they cross railway, meet some Geishas who dance for them, go up a temple and even watch a nude spectacle until a tense ending climax .

This amusing but so-so adventure with hilarious and fun incidents was shot on location in Japan. The picture is plenty of incidental pleasures when the little boys become involved in problems, as a sympathetic visit to a geisha house, leading to a thrilling climax at a temple with the children in maxim risk to fall down. Starred by two kids who decide to trek to Tokyo, they are pretty well and very likeable . While the veteran actors, Cameron Mitchell and Teresa Wright are just excellent as the anguished parents who attempt to track them down. Furthermore, Clnt Eastwood appears in a tiny character as a pilot.

It packs colorful and glimmer cinematograhy by George Snyder in a Technicolor treat, but a perfect remastering being extremely necessary. Evocative and adequate musical score by the classic composer Max Steiner. The motion picture was professionally directed by Arthir Lubin, though with no originality.

Rating : 5.5/10. Passable and acceptable.
