Viewing Notes
A great Sam Fuller crime drama set in post-war Japan, with some stellar performances by a young, rough around the edges Robert Stack, and the severely underrated Robert Ryan.
Worth watching for the on-location shooting in post-war Japan, including a great end scene that plays out in a rooftop childen’s carnival, replete with Ferris wheel and tilt-o-whirl.
