Designed to familiarize American soldiers with their Japanese counterparts, it is often blatantly racist, yet it is an important document of World War II and remains, at a technical level, extremely effective. When the war in the Pacific ended, the film was quickly pulled from circulation. Written by Capra, Carl Foreman (High Noon, Bridge on the River Kwai), and John Huston, who also narrates.
