The Barbarian and the Geisha | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Sincere, devout, expensive-looking and in result quite dreadful; attempting realism and achieving only the pastel prettiness of a badly-printed picture book.

Director John Huston seems to have sacrificed almost everything else in his desire to achieve pictorial loveliness in a fancied-up biography of Townsend Harris (woodenly played by John Wayne).

One of John Wayne's worst and most embarrassing films, in which he is totally miscast and misdirected by Johnn Huston.

Never seems fluid.
