Sayonara (1957)

Sayonara: Directed by Joshua Logan. With Marlon Brando, Patricia Owens, James Garner, Martha Scott. A US Air Force major in Kobe confronts his own opposition to marriages between American servicemen and Japanese women when he falls for a beautiful performer.

“This movie is very interesting in which it concerns the relationships between Japanese and American servicemen after the Second World War in Japan. Especially Marlon Brandou0026#39;s character goes from reservations (especially considering the period the movie is set) to falling in love with a Japanese woman and hopes to marry her. Brando shines in this movie, and I put it among his best movies. The standout of the cast is Red Buttons, who at the time was still unkown as an actor, but in his debut revealed that he was destined for greatness. His performance of Joe Kelly, an American airman, is incredibly believable and touching, and Buttons won the Academy Award for best Supporting Actor for this film, and he truly deserved it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAn interesting movie for the subject and the actorsu0026#39; performances, well directed and also very entertaining. And I think itu0026#39;s deeply underrated today.”
