...except two-the high-necked kimono is more resistant to bosomy uplift than the Boston board of censors. But along with cues from the U.S., Osone provides some fascinating clues to the Japanese taste and popular spirit. In one scene, for instance, a sort of Japanese Bobby Clark (Shunji Sakai) muddles interminably with some chicken droppings in the baron's parlor; in Japan this was a sure laugh-getter. And then at the end, when the slamming samurai has foiled the villain and won his lady love (Kuniko Ikawa), do they leap into each other's arms...
...armored car, Adlai Stevenson invaded the green depths of Malaya's Red-infested jungle to visit the village of Bukit Lanjan and see a tribe of Sakai, roving aborigines. The friendly little people had been warned that a tuan besar (great master) from over the sea would visit them.

Amakasu was a member of a group of young Japanese firebrands who vehemently denounced internationalism, who were then seriously beginning a successful struggle to make the army master of the Japanese Government. In cold blood, with his own hands, Captain Amakasu strangled his internationally-minded prisoner. He deputed to a subordinate the less important job of garroting Osugi's wife and 10-year...
...feathers." For authentic fur-&-feather footage, Cinemad-venturer Clyde Elliott (Bring 'Em Back Alive) toted his cameras to Northern Malaya. Paramount sheared away most of what he brought back, brushed up a Booloo of its own, a crude hocus-pocus about a white tiger, worshiped by Sakai tribesmen and kept in good fur on a diet of maidens...
