  • The Barbarian And The Geisha (1958)

    Because the sentence that wrote memories of this movie was found to the book
    that a certain Japanese who had been working as a staff during the location in Japan.
    Let's introduce it.
    His name is Minoru Inuzuka and he participated in this movie as a dialogue coach.
    He can be seen also IMDB.

    Hereafter,from his sentences.
    1) John Huston felt dissatisfied in the scenario that the writer wrote first, and was
    being rewritten by himself at the hotel every night. However, Inuzuka says It must be
    already water under the bridge.
    2) John Wayne was coming to Japan alone without attendand. and he was processing
    what one by himself.When taking a meal in the studio,JW waited in a line of the staff
    together.and after meal,he had take away the dirty dishes for the table,even with other's plate.
    There was not affecting the star,and when he was a popular good person,everyone
    felt adimiration for Duke.
    3) Though JW was doing comfortable way to talk when performing at the waestern movie,
    It pronounced in one word plain remark,and the device about which it talked applying
    the intonation in the conversation with the samurai was done,He made it good.
    Inuzuka thought He was not an average actor in this movie.
    4) Inuzuka invited JW to the geisha house in Gion in Kyoto twice. Duke was very pleased
    the geisha play was very graceful.
