Geisha Girl (film)
1952 Film directed by George Breakston
Geisha Girl is a 1952 American adventure film directed and produced by George Breakston and C. Ray Stahl, and starring Steve Forrest, Martha Hyer, Tetsu Nakamura, Heihachirō Ōkawa, and Dekao Yokoo.[1][2] The full film was shot in Tokyo, Japan. The plot was, in fact, created so as to educate American viewers of such Japanese traditions as a Kabuki theater presentation, a Buddhist religious ceremony, and a geisha house.[3][4] Despite these features, the Japanese people were presented as stock characters or buffoons.[5] Martha Hyer did not play the main role in the film, yet got the top billing.[6][7][8]
