I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

. . . are some of the terms that may be applied to TOKYO JOE. An Army Air Corps Lt. Colonel during WWII, TOKYO JOE expects all of his old pals from a Pre-War stay in Japan to welcome him back with open arms after his Post-War stab at being a small businessman in the States goes bust. So what if his War colleagues nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That was months ago, so it's time to let By-Gones be By-Gones. GONE WITH THE WIND taught us just ten years before TOKYO JOE hit the Big Screen that there's no place better for finding warm hospitality than in a defeated community during Reconstruction. Unfortunately for TOKYO JOE, everyone in his namesake metropolis makes an exception to this rule as far as he's concerned. When people aren't trying to bomb him or burn him alive, they're coming after him with guns, knives, and back-breaking Judo throws. As if that's not bad enough, his only child keeps getting kidnapped at the drop of a hat. Many of Humphrey Bogart's films involve him participating in WWII in some fashion, or playing a character who is a veteran of that conflict. If that War had been fought by a collection of TOKYO JOES and Captain Queegs in Real Life, the Rising Sun flag might be flying atop the White House today.

This certainly was not one of Humphrey Bogart's best films? Why? There is very little action in it. When the action does occur, it is so quickly resolved. The end is predictable because after all, Florence Marly (Trina) can't have two husbands.What did the Baron really want to smuggle in? Just some Communists to stir things up, or was there even more to this?Alexander Knox is terribly miscast as Bob Landis, Tina's second husband. He is drab and needed to exert much more if he wanted his wife back all together. Surprising that after such a brilliant performance in 1944's "Wilson," Knox got stuck with this part. The part called for a much more suave type. Knox totally lacked appeal here and it's showing.The ending really ends with a question mark. However, we know how it had to end. This certainly wasn't a Casablanca. Ingrid Bergman could easily have taught Flo Marly some lessons here.

Picture Bogart's Richard Blaine character renamed Joe Barrett for this film. Instead of Casablanca, he's got a place in Tokyo just like Rick's named Tokyo Joe's. World War II interrupts things and he gets out of Japan and goes in the Army Air Corps where he spends a good deal of time bombing a lot of Japanese real estate. Including Tokyo which because of the wooden buildings pre World War II was particularly vulnerable to Curtis LeMay's incendiaries. It's a miracle, but his place survived intact and he'd like to resettle in Tokyo and pick up where he left off.Bogey gets an even better piece of news. His Ingrid Bergman who he married before the war and thought dead is alive. He goes to her and finds out she divorced him for reasons the plot really doesn't go into and is now married to a high civilian official with the American occupying authority, read MacArthur. That would be Alexander Knox in the Paul Henreid part and Ingrid, in this case Florence Marly has a daughter now.Still Bogey who would now like to make money as a civilian flier as well is being used at cross purposes by the American Army Intelligence and by some Japanese led by Sessue Hayakawa who haven't adjusted to losing the war.Tokyo Joe follows in plot lines laid out by Casablanca, but it sure treads softly in those giant footsteps. It was nice to see Sessue Hayakawa appear for the first time in an American film since silent days. He became a star in the early silent era in Cecil B. DeMille's The Cheat and left for Japan with the coming of sound where he stayed a popular film star right through World War II.Hayakawa came here for Tokyo Joe. Other than establishing newsreel shots, this whole production was done on Columbia's back lot. Humphrey Bogart gives it the old Casablanca try, but he must have been wondering why he left Warner Brothers he was certainly doing a lot of the same stuff over at his home studio.

Bogart is a former nightclub owner who returns to postwar Japan to pick up his life with a wife (Florence Marly) he had deserted, only to find that she had remarried and was the mother of his seven-year-old daughter… In the ensuing complications, Bogart is placed in a position where he must smuggle some Japanese war criminals back into Japan or his daughter will be killed… Bogart is much less convincing than in his "Across the Pacific" days, where he was also required to deal with villainous Japanese… For an actor who had belabored the point that he had been forced to do too many bad films because he had no control over the properties, it is disappointing to see him making extremely bad films now that he did have full control...
