DVD Reviews of The Teahouse Of The August Moon (DVD) Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford
DVD Review: A classic comedy of misdirection
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
DVD Review: They just don't make 'em like they used to!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!!DVD Review: Teahouse

The Teahouse Of The August Moon (DVD) Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford
The funny clash between okinawan and american cultures during the recovery of Okinawa after WWII. My favorite Brando role.
DVD Review: Teahouse of the August Moon
Summary: 3 Stars
Cute humor but a little slow paced for me. Glenn Ford did a good job. Brando's character was somewhat annoying. Maybe that was their intention. Eddie Albert did a fine job.DVD Review: A fun movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The Teahouse Of The August Moon (DVD) Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford Glenn Ford and Marlon Brando at their best, in a fun movie with an underlining of early, post war prejudise against the Japanese. The picture quality is great with very good original sound. The only negative comment I have is, this release is in Letter Box format. Even with my Wide Screen TV there is a lot of top and bottom black, unused space.
