Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the first movie allowed to film in post-war Japan. However, it appears that any footage of Joe Barrett (Bogart's character) that appears on location in Tokyo was filmed with a body double. It's more than possible that Bogart filmed only in the U.S. and never went to Japan.
- GoofsObvious double for Humphrey Bogart in the fight scenes and the street scenes filmed in Japan.
- Quotes
Joseph 'Joe' Barrett: Hey, whatever became of the rattrap hotel that used to be next door?
Ito: The B-29's converted it into a parking lot.
Joseph 'Joe' Barrett: Well, it's lucky they stopped when they did, or all Tokyo'd be a parking lot. Next time it'll be the whole world and nothing left to park
Ito: Come upstairs, Joe. They don't understand a word of English - unless they listen.

Variations in the score throughout the film
In the ensuing complications, Bogart is placed in a position where he must smuggle some Japanese war criminals back into Japan or his daughter will be killed
Bogart is much less convincing than in his "Across the Pacific" days, where he was also required to deal with villainous Japanese
For an actor who had belabored the point that he had been forced to do too many bad films because he had no control over the properties, it is disappointing to see him making extremely bad films now that he did have full control...
