The film is based on a fictional history behind the Tanaka Memorial document. The film won the Academy Award for Best Art Direction for a Black & White (Wiard Ihnen, A. Roland Fields) film in 1945.
Nick Condon (James Cagney) is a journalist for the Tokyo Chronicle. He prints a story disclosing Japan's plan to conquer the world. The newspaper is seized by Japanese officers. Condon gets the Tanaka Plan, a paper in which all the plans are described. The Japanese spies who follow him think that Ollie and Edith Miller (Wallace Ford and Rosemary DeCamp) are the ones who discovered the plan because they suddenly have a lot of money and are coming back to the USA. When Condon goes to the ship to bid them farewell, he finds Edith dead. He can only see a woman's hand with a ring with a huge ruby. Back home, he finds Ollie, in terrible condition. He gets from Ollie the Tanaka plan.
Premier Giichi Tanaka (John Emery) wants his plans to remain secret, and sends Col. Hideki Tojo (Robert Armstrong) Capt. Oshima (John Halloran) and Hijikata (Leonard Strong) to follow him everywhere. Condon loses the document with the Tanaka plan. Ollie's disappeared, and the police arrest them in terms of scandal and much noise while having a party with two girls in his apartment, which is a complete lie.
Condon meets Iris Hilliard (Sylvia Sidney), half American and half Chinese. At first, he suspects her of being the lady in the ship, then he doesn't. They fall in love. She seems to be betraying him, especially when Condon sees the ring with the ruby in her hand.
At the end, it turns out she's been sent by a politician who wants peace and was present when the Tanaka plan was devised. Condon leaves his job after ten days. When he's about to leave Japan, he meets the politician and Iris in the harbour. The politician signs the document to prove it's real. They are discovered by the Japanese army.
Iris runs away with the document in a cargo ship which will take her out of Japan. To distract the Japanese officers, Condon fights his greatest enemy and tries to reach the American Embassy. He's shot at by spies dressed in street clothes, but he's not killed. The consular adviser goes out of the Embassy and takes Condon inside still alive, and the Japanese officers can't prevent it, because they couldn't find the Tanaka document when registering Condon.

Began Production In Mid - Oct 1944 at Samuel Goldwyn Studios .. And completed Later That Year .. The Hollywood Reporter . notes that the bar depicted in the picture was an "exact replica" of Tokyo's Imperial Hotel bar designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
GREAT MOVIE..CAGNEY makes movie stars of the day look high school drama class.
I’ve seen this movie a couple of times, while I understand it was made shortly after the war it’s a genuinely remarkable film. The Tanaka Memorial was thought at this time to be real, something that’s questioned today but at the time the film intended to build on or dramatize historical events. The sensitivity to the Japanese culture is impressively restrained given the film was made in 1945 and some of the remarkable elements of the culture do shine through. Cagney as always was enjoyable to watch and the supporting cast good. Worth a 1st or 2nd look if you haven’t seen it in a while.
Some of the best martial arts action that you'll find in a Hollywood movie of the 40s.
First-class classic. Definitely one I'll watch again.
ALWAYS LOVED JAMES CAGNEY IN EVERY MOVIE HE ACTED IN. A TOUGH LITTLE ROOSTER IN REAL LIFE TOO. AND A KIND MAN.
Sylvia Sidney: so young and beautiful as to be almost unrecognizable to folks who only saw her later movies....like me. Hint: she was in the movie BEETLEJUICE, (she was the woman in charge of the ghostly "employment office").
Yeah, I remember that. Also in Dead End with Humphrey Bogart.
I am not surprised. He spent time on the streets in Hell's Kitchen in NYC. He was a real unique individual. All through his early years on Broadway and early film, he would work at other non-entertainment jobs. For the money, and because he had an incredible work ethic. He was close friends with my favorite actress of all time Joan Blondell. They cam to Hollywood together in 1931.
I love watching these old movie on RUclips.
I love this movie. Pure Cagney. Also Carl Denham as Tojo!
Cagney was a real life golden glove boxer and black belt Judoka before Olympic Judo training replaced traditional Judo training methods in the west. The flick kick, edge of hand strike and heel palm strikes seen in this fight scene are all part of old school Judo self-defense/unarmed combat training (not used in competitive Judo). The boxing Cagney mixes with his Judo comes from his golden glove background and growing up as a street fighter in New York City where he had to face a lot of bullies due to his small stature. Cagney trained all of his life in Boxing and Judo to remain fit.
"Forgive your enemies...sure...but first get even."
The Cagney Bible.
James Cagney was on of the first actors to get a black belt in Judo also did some boxing 🥊 that short right of his was fantastic!
This will be the 5th time I have watched it, a great film!
he was a boxer and later on achieved a legitimate black belt (i do know how high) i Kodokan Judo one of the first Americans to do so
To clarify the film credit issue on its production year vrs it's release date. The film was in final edit in 1944. But the official US release date was April 1945. Films in the 30s 40s that had end of year production finalization, often did not have release dates until the following year.
Blood in the sun ! So like some of the happenings today... False ( (Oharma and Rotten Clintsins and Russian hacking ) news to start an international crisis... " selling out your teammates ".( The USA government FBI , CIA , NSA, and the Hollywood few , selling out their whole industry, not cool great movie.. Cagney knew how to really act !
you're an idiot.
Colleen
Who needs B. Lee when you have Cagney???
forgive your enemies....at their funerals....by me...
He was, and tough for real.
Hello nice to meet you i love noir and spy movies. A question i am looking for this kind of movies with "over the shoulder" scenes like in this one on 19:15 minutes. Could you help me to search more scenes in another movies? And if there is women like the film "Operacion Carambola" doing the carry with men please. Thanks a lot :)
Is this the first martial arts fight scene in an American film?
one I watch every few years
On 7 December 1941 Japan bombed Pear Harbor. The United States bombed Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 and Nagasaki on 9 August 1941. The dates concerning this film seem a little puzzling. This film looks a bit 30's-esque, like it was made circa 38.
According to Wikipedia, an old Russian intelligence officer has said that the Tanaka Memorial was a fake created in 1931 to influence Western powers against Japan. It first appeared in Communist publications and a Japanese version has never been found.
I much enjoyed the movie. Cagney managed to get through it without slugging any women. Thanks for posting.
Upon his death a network assembled a small clip that was a montage of
him slugging women in 3 or 4 movies. He often played a poorly educated criminal of the depression, of which there were plenty, so he had to get tough with some broads occasionally.
needs more cherry blossoms
Tojo sounds like Sasha Baron Coen :D
Good movie but a couple of big holes in it with Iris Hilliard. First the secret police knew that Nick Condon (Cagney) received the Tanaka Memorial from Iris but did not enter the room and take it and, second, how did Iris escape her hotel room with guards all around it?
Police were hesitant when dealing with Condon and Iris, well she jumped out a window.
Please find a color version of this movie and uploadit to youtube
NO NO NO!!!!!! This movie received an Oscar for Art Direction in BLACK AND WHITE! Colorizing (which always is a nauseating failure) would absolutely ruin an old b&w movie that relies so much on light and shadow. Learn to appreciate real cinematic art!
Cagney at 1:26:00 fights light a kid from the streets of New York.
Banzai!
It wasn't exactly John Wick, but considering the date of the movie, the Judo was decent. The boxing was less impressive. And the movie itself was surprisingly "neutral" for a war time movie.
John Wick who?
23:46...watch your back Cagney...
And of course, a Russian Intelligence Officer MUST be telling the truth? I don't think we needed anything to convince us to be against Japan, since they were already in Manchuria??
Robbi496 USA were already in Philipines,France were already in Indochina, Great Britain were already in malaysia,Hong Kong ,India... Japan wanted to conquer the world and What western country wanted?
So you are trying to compare the US's control of the Philippines (you spelled it wrong by the way,) or the British control of Malaysia or India to the Japanese occupation of Manchuria and china then you are a few sandwiches short of a picnic sport. Go read your history and stay awake this time.
John of course ,Americans and British were saving their souls with Chirstianity and western civilization.
The point is that they weren't murdering men, women and children by the 100,000's and the Japanese were so to compare them with the Japanese occupation is ridiculous.
John who said so ? Britsh slaughered only in China millions of people! cite just one free country invaded by Japan?

I downloaded this.
Of course you did. I believe I will too.
Nancy G. Ellison... Only saw your comments today and FULLY agree......Rex Frost, saw your's too and FULLY DISAGREE !!!!!!! Lived near Mr. Cagney's farm & daughters great rustic restaurant. Not only was he a great all around entertainer, husband, father, neighbor and loyal American. It is true...he took no crap from anyone.... Not anyone, but a lesser know fact is he could be extremely kind. Still miss him to this day. RIP Mr. Cagney.
James Cagney is an excellent martial artist. It's a shame Americans didn't accept judo in his time because it was Japanese.
They must have changed their opinion by the time the 60s arrived. Judo was very popular when I was going to school in the 1960s. My parents paid $8 a month for me to take judo classes twice a week.
American servicemen received Judo training during the war.
Improve your picture quality maybe I subscribe
"fictional" sure m8, btw I have the HD version of this movie on my channel (720p/1080p)
great name for today's air bags="Tanaka!!
Isn’t it takata
A good movie but it is bizarre seeing anglos playing orientals by taping their eyes into a slant and giving them false teeth.
Orientals huh ? ahhh sooooo...
+Jimvanhise Bizzare. Like "black face" in the 20's. I suppose all the Japanese-Americans were either dead on European battlefields, still in the camps, or released but homeless seeing that Americans took away their homes and businesses during the war.
yeah they were still locked up or fighting since WWII was still on. On the plus side no one was played as a lesser human being, every foe was surprisingly intelligent and dangerous. Not defending of course, but "black face" was just dehumanizing, there was nothing remotely redeeming about that. The people here at least told a story. I guess an analogue would be Eli Wallach and Mel Blanc playing a Mexican, Wallach always played a character on par with the rest of the cast, Blanc was just there to provide a fool for the audience to laugh at
Most likely all the US/Japanese actors of the time were in interment camps...
Upon his death a network assembled a small clip that was a montage of him slugging women in 3 or 4 movies. He often played a poorly educated criminal of the depression, of which there were plenty, so he had to get tough with some broads occasionally.
Sometimes the ladies got tough with him too .. in the movies anything is possible ! It's the tester of life .. actor and actresses have short career men usually last longer than women because women like Streep, Rosie, Madonna.Handler were once a long time ago , pretty but NOT now ! Shame aye !
Do you like showing your ignorance to the whole world?
That's the way it was back then. What am I talking about-now! Women are now slapping up men.
John Wayne was the one who punched everybody. He liked to throw his weight around, 'Pilgrim'.
The video quality is really terrible.
Credits for "1945" inaccurate; film credits MCMIV indicate 1944---M for 1000, CM 1000-100, and IV 5-1... reading lain numerals a vanishing art ... :-(
MCMIV= 1904. 1944 would be MCMXLIV.
pigalleycat You're ABSOLUTELY CORRECT--- was tired from lack of sllep as a student ;-)
John Mulfort lack of sleep [like now ;-) ]
I can sympathize.
what should it have been?
"Sake win"

James Cagney bad actor
To a generation that thinks Leonardo DeCrapeo is a great actor it's hard to appreciate the true awsomeness of James Cagney.
Cagney was a great actor in everything of his that I've seen. Dicaprio has had some outstanding performances as well.
