The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958)

[cranefly]

At first I thought The Inn of the Sixth Happiness was the movie where Marlon Brando played a Japanese character, which is often cited as one of the worst cases of yellowface.  But that was The Teahouse of the August Moon.  Personally, I think witchhunts in the past are way overblown.  For instance, for a long time the World Fantasy Award was a bust of H.P. Lovecraft; but due to a growing outcry -- because some of his letters and writings hold racist elements -- two years ago they switched to something else.  My question would be, what percentage of Americans were openly racist at the time he was writing?  Too many people spend too much time pointing fingers into the past instead of addressing their own shortcomings in the present.
