The Lovelorn Geisha

I sincerely don't get the reason why japanese studios in the 60's felt the need to make movies like the ones americans made in the same period exactly in the vein of the movie with the Goddess Ayako Wakao or this one, just acted for the most part by japanese actors. And to get the fact that this is more an american movie than anything else (except for the usual japanese "delicacy" concerning rape and suicide, that is) you don't need to look anything other than the presence of real-life american people acting the part of americans. It's not because of particular prejudice against americans, it's just that when you watch Japanese movies you're supposed to watch japanese stuff, for 60's american movies you could get a far better deal by watching 60's hollywood production. And, like The Blue Sky Maiden, this is a one-thing only enough watchable to get to the end but it doesn't go beyond that.
