 fantastic March 13, 2002

I originally saw this movie on television, and the impression I got from the movie has lasted with me for six years. If you are into anything japanese, I would check this out. The dancing scene alone, with the changing kimono is worth the buy. It didn't get great reviews back in the day, but I found it to be just beautiful. It has amazing sets, costumes and music. I think it to be far superior to any other movies of the day like Shirley Macleans' "Geisha" film. The only downside is that the plot may be weak in one or two areas and ends abrubtly. If you are a serious critic of movies, this one may not be for you. As for the rest, enjoy!
great movie, bad format December 27, 2000

This movie is a classic, with its gentle humor and wry look at the US versus the "uncivilized" as fresh and as poignant as it was when first filmed. It's been a family favorite of ours for decades.I'm writing this review to warn potential buyers about the format of the video. It's not letterbox, and sometimes all you can see is a window and, on the edges, two characters' noses and a couple of hands, while you hear the witty and charming dialog. It's unfortunately quite distracting from the movie. I was disappointed, but so pleased to have a decent copy of this classic, that I'll keep it anyway. I'll just keep searching for a letterbox version.
Timeless, comedy with a fantastic script November 29, 1998

This movie will be funny for people watching it 1000 years from now. This is a classic comedy with a few "life lessons" as well. My husband who typically does not like anything made prior to 1960 laughs outloud at this film. We use lines from this movie as a code. For example: Glenn Ford's character says "Alright, I'm sorry, shall I kill myself?" Paul Ford's character replies "Don't minimize this." If that kind of dialogue tickles your funny bone then this is the film for you. "Socks up!"
Among the list of great movies. September 4, 2000

One of the great classics! Glenn Ford & Henry Morgan give an outstanding comedic performance! Marlon Brandon is superb! I want to see this wonderful film on DVD, so I can keep it forever! A must see!
