Marion Brando in The Teahouse of the August Moon

on BBC Two England

with Glenn Ford
Continuing a season of films starring Marlon Brando

When the American Army of Occupation attempts to inflict its brand of democracy on the Okinawan village of Tobiki, the inhabitants prove less than grateful. American dynamism proves no match tor Japanese guile, personified by Marlon Brando in one of his rare comedy roles as the wily Japanese interpreter Sakini.

Based on a book by Vern J. Sneider and the play by John Patrick
