What Sayonara Is About
Sent to Japan after the Korean War, American Major Lloyd Gruver sees up close how the military obstructs marriages between servicemen and Japanese women. His friend Joe Kelly is determined to marry Katsumi, and Gruver risks his own standing by acting as best man; he then falls for Hana-ogi, a performer in a theatre company. With Marlon Brando in the lead, the film argued openly against racial prejudice for its moment. It also cast an American actor in makeup as a Kabuki performer, which is now its most contested choice. Two supporting players won Oscars.
