Summary: 4 Stars
While cross-ethnic marriage is of course accepted today, such was not the case when this movie was filmed. This one, of course, deals with marriages between US GIs and Japanese girls during early 1950s occupied Japan. The US Army was (according to the film) aggressively discouraging such marriages, and it was difficult or impossible for the GIs to bring their brides back to the States. This is the backdrop for this sensitive and well-made film.
Brando plays the role of an American hot-shot jet pilot who is temporarily transferred from the Korean battle front to occupied Japan. He and a close friend both meet and fall in love with splendid Japanese ladies, and therein lies a touching and tragic storyline. No spoilers here.
What is it about Brando that caused him to repeatedly be cast in roles that required him to assume awful accents of one kind or another? (Mutiny on the Bounty, The Young Lions, and this one.) Brando utterly fails to pull off the Southern accent of his role, and they would have done better to dispense with it altogether. This is why I deprive this one of the fifth star--the accent really, really degrades the film. And I am a big Brando fan.
Nevertheless, "Sayonara" is a don't-miss film, and even hard-boiled viewers will not fail to be touched by this sensitive period-piece film.
