The Ugly American (1963) The Ugly American

The Ugly American ★★½ 1963 A naive American ambassador to a small, civil-war-torn Asian country fights a miniature Cold War against northern communist influence. Too preachy, and the "Red Menace" aspects are now very dated, but Brando's performance is worth watching. Based on the William J. Lederer novel. 120m/C VHS. Marlon Brando, Sandra Church, Eiji Okada, Pat Hingle, Arthur Hill; Director: George Englund; Writer: Stewart Stern.
