Nearly a decade before the onset of World War II, Gwen (Carroll Baker), a young American woman, meets the Japanese diplomat Hidenari Terasaki (James Shigeta) while on vacation. The two fall deeply in love and eventually marry, however their idyllic existence is shattered after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Having to relocate to Japan from the United States, Gwen faces daily discrimination, while her husband is monitored by the secret police due to his antiwar sentiments.
In 1965 I watched this movie one night while my husband and newborn baby slept. This movie was the best I have ever seen and has haunted me for more than 40 years. I never realized the plight of the Japanese in the United States and this movie and the wonderful acting made everything so believable. I had never even been interested in any war movies prior to this and still don't but this one made a lifelong lasting impression on me. I have never cried so hard in my life at the end and have constantly checked out old movies to try and find it again. I would very much like to find this movie and keep it forever. I would recommend this movie to everyone from teenagers to seniors. At my tender age of 19, I realized after watching this movie that I had no idea of what real love was between two people. I even had to wake up my husband that night and just have him hold me while I sobbed. If anyone knows how to find this movie please advise.
