Japanese War Bride

Japanese War Bride also known as East is East is a 1952 motion picture drama directed by King Vidor. The film marked the American debut of Shirley Yamaguchi in the title role.

The widespread publicity surrounding the films launch made Japanese wives increasingly visible in the United States. Alongside The Teahouse of the August Moon and the more successful film Sayonara, Japanese War Bride was argued by some scholars to have increased racial tolerance in the United States by openly discussing interracial marriages.
