...memory. For good reason. Tough shoot -- they don't come any tougher. Heat. Bugs. Snakes. Minimum crew, equipment. Maximum heightening of the senses deep in exotic country. Sensitive descriptions of people, landscape. Plus. Bogart a total pro -- on time, lines letter-perfect, hating his hairpiece. John Huston an elusive macho sprite -- flitting through the jungle dropping big game, occasional shrewd directorial insights (gave Hepburn Eleanor Roosevelt as role model...

After a two-week tour of naval bases in Hawaii, the Philippines and Japan, the investigators concluded that in both services "the encouragement of a macho-male image contributes to behavior that is at best inappropriate and at worst morally repugnant."

This unique feel stems from its Asian perspective on men and women, which is distinct from the Western perspective. Though Gun is set up to be a typical, macho western cowboy hero, he is no Pygmalion. The window Tampopo is neither a statue-like work of art nor an Adam's rib. She is closer to the archetypal woman warrior, strong and in control of her own destiny. The gourmands who are supposed to teach her cannot directly show...
