Criminals should be forced to watch this cringe worthy endless drivel. Alec Guinness is over-the-top offensive with his half-closed slanty eyes, painted on skin tones, and cartoonish speech patterns. Yes this was a less enlightened time. But really? How can a movie promote understanding between Western and Eastern cultures when it casts an old white man as a Japanese man? It's simply ridiculous.
Rosalind Russell gives her usual feisty performance though she too manages a few icky cultural stereotypes herself. Ray Danton is forgettable as the son-in-law/villain. And what a shame that Alan Mowbray ended his career in this thing. The lessons A Majority of One purports to teach are obvious and one-dimensional at best. Burn the prints and leave this piece of crap back in the dark ages from whence it came. This is one of those movies that reminds us that the good old days may not have been so good.
