We've had quite a few posts already on the board about how Japan appears in Hollywood films. YouTube now has a number of clips available so here's a thread for them. Starting with "Sayonara". Catch Marlon Brando's fluent Japanese at 2:01 in the clip above. See him playing an Okinawan in the clip from "The Teahouse of the August Moon" below:

Great post Mulboyne. I rented Teahouse of the August moon after I watched the first clips. I had never heard of this movie prior to your post and am still in a tenuous state of shock at seeing "The Godfather" in Yellow face. I enjoyed the movie though. It must be a fun play to watch performed live.

Peace

The whole film is on a playlist here.

Also, here's the fun trailer for 1957's "Escapade in Japan". Handily, you get virtually the entire plot too:
