What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

A pure propaganda movie,with a screenplay so far-fetched that you will not find a touch of realism in this extravagant "mission".The mission which concerns a scientist prisoner of the Japanese is not particularly exciting;but the main interest is somewhere else ;the Steve and Abby reunion is the real meat of the story,it's pretty original.Steve and Abby (a nurse)became lovers in the war;her hospital was bombed and Steve thought she was dead;of course she is not,she is alive in the same camp as the scientist Jardine ;she cannot recognize her former love ,cause the American surgeons gave his face Japanese features (and it's irreversible).Steve cannot reveal his true identity and ,although Abby hates him and even wants to have him whip,she cannot help but wonder why ,when she looks at him,she's all in a fluster "his eyes! his eyes! " she says ;So the principal question becomes:WHEN will they really meet again?

This film is almost camp in its sophomoric racism. As a member of a minority that has also experienced this kind of dehumanization at a time when this was not at all uncommon I think that this movie has value as an example of what generations ..even my own daughter will never believe unless they see it. I think we all need these movies in their uncut form as a reminder (embarrassing though it is to the filmmakers) of how dumb we can get with these kinds of issues. I speak as a minority and as a fellow brother to all of you reading this. This is not shocking and the Japanese I am sure have the self confidence (as does my minority group) to point at this as a laughable example of white racism in its most childish form. It does not inspire hate for the whites who made it ...it inspires incredulity and empathy in me personally because it is truly embarrassing. I am sure it is the whites who would most like to eradicate this film and forget they (or the few who believed this) ever exhibited this kind of insipid point of view. It was an emotional time. Sometimes emotions make us say and think stupid things. This movie is an example.

Interesting plot, not overloaded with the usual World War 2 Era derogatory remarks about the Japanese-but not politically correct by today's standards. It is a late WW2 film piece concerning an American soldier who undergoes plastic surgery to allow himself to look Japanese and infiltrate a prison camp in order to gain information from an American prisoner being held there. Tom Neal does a good job with the role. Seeing Keye Luke in a non Charlie Chan or Dr. Kildare series was a plus for the film.

When this film is mentioned at all, it is generally with a sneer. It has a reputation for being "cheesy," mostly because it feature Tom Neal in "Japanese" makeup. It's easy to judge movies from the past with today's eye and say they are racist, insensitive, etc., but keep in mind this was made while we were still at war. The disjointed ending is a result of the A-bomb being dropped before the film was finished. A new finale was thrown together so the whole thing made more sense. Not a great movie, but not bad...not bad at all.
