Tokyo Rose (1946): cast, story & where to watch

1946 · Film · ★ 5

Released in 1946, Tokyo Rose is an adventure and war film directed by Lew Landers, running about 69 minutes. “THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES DRAMA OF THE NO. 1 WOMAN WAR CRIMINAL!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Lotus Long plays the title role, an American-educated Japanese woman broadcasting enemy propaganda to American troops. Captured GI Pete Sherman is one of a group of POWS slated to be interviewed on Tokyo Rose's radio program. Instead of advising his comrades to surrender (as ordered), Sherman uses his innate Yankee knowhow to hoist the treacherous deejay on her own petard. Managing to make his escape, Sherman hooks up with the Japanese Underground, convincing anti-militarist Charlie Otani to aid in a kidnapping plot aimed at Tokyo Rose.

Who’s in it. Tokyo Rose stars Byron Barr as Pete Sherman, Donald Douglas as Timothy O'Brien, Osa Massen as Greta Norburg and Richard Loo as Colonel Suzuki, among others.
