Leave your thoughts about The Barbarian and the Geisha.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyOne of John Wayne's worst and most embarrassing films, in which he is totally miscast and misdirected by Johnn Huston. |
| The SpectatorIsabel QuiglySincere, devout, expensive-looking and in result quite dreadful; attempting realism and achieving only the pastel prettiness of a badly-printed picture book. |
| User Reviewgary twell umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie.....i think that john wayne, sam jaffe, so yamamura, eiko ando play good roles/parts throughout this movie......i think that the director of this action/adventure/drama/romance movie had done a great job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie.....its a good movie 2 watch n its a enjoyable movie 2 watch with a good cast throughout this movie |
| User ReviewPhenyezia OOutstanding movie John Wayne is my family favorite actor |
| User ReviewClay BThe is literally the only John Wayne film truly love. Its a wonderful ride through japanese culture at the end of their isolation. Our two cultures clash in the form of a love that can never be, and a country (Japan) that wishes (for preservation of its traditions) to pretend its the only land in existence. beautiful imagery, & cinematography. Loved it. |
| User ReviewCha tAn enjoyable film even though I thought John Wayne was miscast. He did a good job with his role but I felt that Gregory Peck or Gary Cooper would have been better. But an enjoyable film and again nice to see John Wayne is something other than a western. The movie is well shot and has a nice music score by Hugo Friedhofer. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis is one film that John Wayne did that I didn't particularly care for. |
| User ReviewGreg Wthis and 'bllod alley' stand as 2 prime examples of wayne miscast as he tried 2 broaden his appeal and acting chops. |
| User ReviewDeirdre MJohn Wayne really didn't fit the role well. Otherwise, a pretty decent movie. |
| User ReviewChad RThe only John Wayne show I didn't think was great. |
