...American and the Japanese are like Cain and Abel in the primeval jungle of human conscience. Quicksand sucks down the American; the Japanese hauls him out. When gangrene threatens the Japanese, the American pours his only packet of sulfa powder into the ugly leg wound. The pair learn each other's names-Alvin and Kimura. When Alvin moons about his girl in Sedalia, Mo., Kimura mimes the death of his wife in an air raid. In such scenes, Actor Hayakawa makes Kimura grow wordlessly in stature and sympathy. Actor Piazza cannot prevent poor, blathering Alvin from being a bore...
