The Teahouse Of The August Moon (DVD) Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford Reviews:
A TIMELESS CLASSIC
2009-11-16 - I find this Marlon Brando's greatest movie, his flare for comedy was never better displayed. Glen Ford as the hapless officer, is also very convincing. A sit back, relax and escape out your living room movie.

The Teahouse of the August Moon
2009-09-12 - Great movie. I love the cast. The first time I watched this I had to look hard to see Marlon Brando. I was looking for him as normal Brando not Japanese Brando. He really looked the part. This is a great movie with great humor in it. It is a must have in any classic DVD collection.

A classic comedy of misdirection
2009-02-20 - The kind of humor is much like that in the English comedies where the butler
actually runs things: here Marlon Brandon plays a very clever Japanese interpretor who makes his American employers look classically dumb.In this movie is also the confusion in postwar American minds of the Japanese Geisha
entertainers with prostitutes. In Japan the Geisha were sort of like minor movie stars and were even more rare in the farming backwater of Okinawa.
An enterprise in which the local home brew becomes a thriving industry to supply the American occupation's thirst is classically misunderstood by the command's ideas of the democratic plan for the conquered.
They were just lucky there was no Islamic terrorists on the side?
A fun time is had by all and everybody ends happy.

They just don't make 'em like they used to!
2009-01-23 - My parents took me to this film at its opening at Loews, in Manhattan, New York. It is a gem of a movie, filled with characters so vivid and well turned out, that it is easy to immerse yourself in it. Up to that time I had only seen Brando in "On The Waterfront", so the transformation was over-whelming! Glenn Ford always seemed to fit the role of a put-upon Army or Navy subordinate, and Paul Ford, who is never able to cope with the depth and complications of the world outside the military. Throw in Eddie Albert as the mad gardener, and a very young Harry Morgan with a yen for 7-star batata, and you have the makings of an absolutely wonderful story. Never mind the wonderful Japanese actors, who not only lend an aura of authenticity, but are really into the making of their story--which opens your eyes to the importance of other people's traditions and culture. If you don't laugh yourself silly, well -- maybe you just need a shot of 10-star batata!!

Teahouse

The funny clash between okinawan and american cultures during the recovery of Okinawa after WWII. My favorite Brando role.
