Saturday Cinema: The Teahouse of the August Moon

on BBC Two England

starring
Marlon Brando Glenn Ford
When the American army of occupation attempts to inflict their brand of democracy on the Okinawan village of Tobiki, the inhabitants are less than grateful. American dynamism proves no match for Japanese guile, personified by Marlon Brando in one of his rare comedy roles as the wily
Japanese interpreter Sakini.
Screenplay by JOHN PATRICK based on a book by VERN J. SNEIDER and the play by JOHN PATRICK Produced by JACK CUMMINGS Directed by DANIEL MANN
