Humphrey Bogart (Sirocco) stars with Alexander Knox (The Damned), and Florence Marly (Queen of Blood) star in Tokyo Joe, a post-war film noir tale of smuggling, treason, and blackmail. World War II veteran Joe Barrett (Bogart) returns to his Tokyo gambling den and finds that his wife, Trina (Marly), has remarried to American lawyer Mark (Knox). After learning that Trina was forced to broadcast Japanese propaganda, he finds himself blackmailed into assisting war criminals in order to protect her. Directed by Stuart Heisler (The Glass Key), Tokyo Joe features a powerful central performance from its iconic star, and also represented a return to Hollywood for former silent screen legend Sessue Hayakawa (The Bridge on the River Kwai).
