World War Two had ended in Europe, but still raged across the wide Pacific. And in a string of armed encampments stretching in a crescent from Lone Pine, California to rural Wyoming and Montana, indigenous Japanese Americans remained incarcerated in concentration camps which saw American citizens imprisoned for the duration, solely on the basis of their ethnic origin. Racial hatred was rife against all ethnic Japanese, an American phenomenon misdirected against our own in the wake of Pearl Harbor; but which interestingly left our huge German-American population virtually unblemished. All of this was still at a fever pitch when, in June of 1945, two months before V-J Day, James Cagney, through the production company he owned with his brother, William, produced and starred in Blood on the Sun, one of the most powerful films to try to explain exactly how the Japanese "Co-Prosperity Sphere" came into mortal conflict with the United States. Based on historic fact, this riveting, brutal, action-packed motion picture traces the unintended unveiling of the dreaded Tanaka Plan for Japanese world domination of which the "Co-Prosperity Sphere" was the outpictured façade. Cagney portrays an American reporter toiling in pre-war Japan who, completely innocently is given for safekeeping a purloined copy of the secret plan by his newspaper buddy, Wally Ford. The Japanese know Ford has uncovered their secret, and are willing to perform any act - including murder - to prevent it (and their true intentions) from being revealed before they were ready to strike.

inglês A good spy spectacle that still has a decent edge and momentum after all these years. It may ooze American patriotism, but that can easily be excused by the year of its creation. James Cagney is a good tough guy, who has no problem tossing Japanese men from one end of the room to the other (except that in the final one-on-one battle he seems to have been replaced by a stuntman) while charismatically seducing a dangerous beauty. Everything is more than well filmed, there are very dramatic moments (harakiri)... I give it four and a half stars. It’s too bad about the last sentence about "forgiving the enemy only after you've made up", which was unnecessary and almost inappropriate. All they needed to do was not shake hands and walk away in silence. ()
