I just saw "Bridge to the Sun" (1961) for the first time and was totally blown away by it. What an excellent movie!!
It stars Carroll Baker and James Shigeta. She's from Tennessee and he's a Japanese diplomat in the U.S. in the mid 1930's. They fall in love and marry and have a kid and then comes December 7, 1941.
He gets deported back to Japan and Baker and daughter go with him. It's an excellent telling of the war with a pronounced Japanese perspective and it's a great love story.
It's one of the most haunting movies I've ever seen and would highly recommend it to anyone desiring to watch a good, deep story with wonderful acting.
