Finding home
23 September 2017
Set in post war Japan. A flight crash lands and a 6 year old American boy is found by a fisherman who takes him to his house, his wife nurses him back to health. The young lad gets on well with the fisherman's son but when they hear that the police are arriving both boys think they are in trouble and leave for Tokyo.

Pretty soon both sets of distraught parents are looking for them as the boys to their best to evade the police and end up in bars and clubs.

This is an amiable but casual and contrived film, it really is a B feature because it stars Cameron Mitchell who was well known for them.

There are nice shots of post war Japan and shows mutual respect between the Americans and Japanese, laudable given this was made 11 years after the war ended.
