First ever public screening of a gorgeous archival print courtesy of Sony Repertory struck from a stunning 2001 photochemical restoration!
Humphrey Bogart stars as an ex-serviceman returning to a postwar Japan to reclaim the nightclub he once owned in the shadowy crime drama Tokyo Joe. But it’s not the paradise he once knew and when he discovers the wife he presumed dead is mysteriously alive, remarried and living with his seven-year-old daughter, he’s sucked into a dark world of smuggling and blackmail.
Ariel Schudson discusses Tokyo Joe on the New Beverly blog.
