Uno dei film meno conosciuti di Bogart, ma classico come sempre: atmosfera noir, azione e romanticismo.
In pi Bogart si esibisce in mosse di Judo!
Il video buono e l’audio mantiene il doppiaggio originale d’epoca. Sinceramente quando l’ho ordinato ero preoccupato si trattasse di uno di quegli abominevoli ridoppiaggi che rovinano completamente i film, invece Bogart ha la voce di Emilio Cigoli, tipica dei film girati nell’ultima parte della sua carriera.
Il servizio di Amazon Prime stato come sempre impeccabile: ho ordinato il film circa un mese prima della sua uscita e ci ha impiegato un giorno ad essermi consegnato.
Bravi!
This movie, for me, is more personal than anything else. I was stationed in Japan for approximately 4 years, spoke Japanese BEFORE I got there, though I greatly improved, more-‘N- MORE, while there, …AND I got to know some “Ins-‘N-Outs” of Japanese underground society that the tourist books, and the sleazy U.S. services guys who frequented the brothels…, etc, did NOT cover (i,e, a Japanese Oyabun (gang-boss) of the Yakuza was extremely impressed to be able to talk to a Black-American in Japanese). So I know especially what this movie said.
Well what can you say about the greatest actor that ever lived whatever film he starred in was excellent and this is no exception well worth the few pounds it cos
I enjoyed the film: alright, it’s not classic Bogie, but then again it is him, and it’s well worth the watch. He makes it work. However, the transfer isn’t as good as it could be. This firm tend to specialise in getting stuff released in as short a time as possible, and don’t spend too much time worrying about the quality. See their truly execrable Charlie Chan box set. Thankfully my niece hadn’t opened it before I lent her my copy, so she could get a refund. Get ‘Tokyo Joe’ to fill a gap in your collection and enjoy the film, but don’t expect too much in terms of picture quality.
If you like Humph films, you will want to see this, and you should enjoy it, but it will not rank in your top 10, or even 20. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing special either.
Before I bought this DVD I never heard of Palladium, the company that released this DVD. Unlike some other smaller companies, Palladium offers a movie in superb quality. Only a pity there are no subtitles. But that wouldn’t hold me from buying more of their releases.
About the movie: “Tokyo Joe” is a nice film, which I could watch again in a few years time. It’s not a “Maltese falcon” or “Big sleep”, but nevertheless a very watchable movie. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll have an entertaining one-and-a-half hour with this if you should buy it.
