Description
Release Date: 06 October 2008
Humphrey Bogart plays Saloonkeeper Joe Barrett in post-war Tokyo. With an interesting cast including Alexander Knox and an outstanding performance by Sessue Hayakawa (Bridge on the River Kwai) as the Japanese gang lord. Florence Marly adds a European/international touch as White Russian Cabaret singer. The theme of post-war Japan is rarely touched on, and like Sam Fuller's 'House of Bamboo', Tokyo Joe takes a long, slow look at the underbelly of Japan's post-war milieu. Like Casablanca, this film has all the elements, haunting theme music, guns, girls and gangsters with a whiff of geopolitical intrigue.
