Thank you oh so much, reply the villagers, but here's what we really need: a teahouse, complete with geishas. West vs. East, conquerors vs. conquered. Guess who wins. "Serious actor" Marlon Brando displayed his versatility by getting laughs (lots of 'em!) in this comic delight based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play and costarring two top-model Fords: Hollywood star Glenn and stage star Paul, the latter re-creating his Broadway role. Brando's interpreter Sakini, with more smart maneuvers than Admiral Halsey and his fleet, keeps the construction of both the teahouse and the plot moving at a merry clip. Welcome to the Teahouse, where comedy is served. Review: The Teahouse of the August Moon - ESSENTIAL MOVIE!!! This movie stars Marlon Brando & Glenn Ford. It's a tour-de-force for Brando in a rare comedic performance. I've never been a fan of Brando but he is excellent in this movie. If you have ever doubted his acting ability then you need to see this in which he portrays an Okinawan(!) &, yes, his makeup includes the slanting of the eyes. Glenn Ford is also excellent in a comedic role which he proved to be very adept at & would do many more times following this movie. The movie takes place in Okinawa immediately following the end of WWII. The American occupation force is there to assist the Okinawans in their rebuilding effort; & this is where the conflict of cultures comes in, the Okinawans have their own ideas in contrast with what the Americans have in mind. Brando shines as the scheming Sakini, a hustler without peer. Glenn Ford is the harried local commanding officer who's a misfit not in line with his superior officers. The movie also has two excellent co-stars: Paul Ford & Eddie Albert. Paul Ford reprises his role from the Broadway play of the same name. The DVD does have bonus features that includes the featurette "Operation Teahouse" & a Marlon Brando Trailer gallery. The Buyer should know this DVD version comes from a Marlon Brando set that has been broken up for individual sale. I'm ambivalent about that but the sellers are now charging way too much for this. I was lucky, I didn't pay anywhere near the exorbitant prices that are now reflected by the sellers. This is one of the best comedies ever done & most should at least want to see it or own it. But, honestly, not at the prices they are now charging. Review: Love Teahouse of the August Moon - An exceptional Movie. One of Marlon Brando's best. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Daniel Mann, Eddie Albert, Glenn Ford, Harry Morgan, Jun Negami, Machiko Kyô, Marlon Brando, Mitsuko Sawamura, Nijiko Kiyokawa, Paul Ford Contributor Daniel Mann, Eddie Albert, Glenn Ford, Harry Morgan, Jun Negami, Machiko Kyô, Marlon Brando, Mitsuko Sawamura, Nijiko Kiyokawa, Paul Ford See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 486 Reviews | | Format | NTSC, Subtitled | | Genre | Comedy | | Language | English | | Number Of Discs | 1 | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Comedy - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled - **Contributor:** Daniel Mann, Eddie Albert, Glenn Ford, Harry Morgan, Jun Negami, Machiko Kyô, Marlon Brando, Mitsuko Sawamura, Nijiko Kiyokawa, Paul Ford - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 1 ## Images ![Teahouse of the August Moon, The (1956) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Edf19RjML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Teahouse of the August Moon *by H***R on December 22, 2007* ESSENTIAL MOVIE!!!

One of Marlon Brando's best. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teahouse of the August Moon *by M***D on March 25, 2008* This was a movie on DVD. It had all the promotional material I'd like to know: actors and director, wide or full screen, black and white or color, sound capabilities, etc. A color picture of the actors on the cover was important. If I hadn't seen it, I'd want to know something about the plot. It actually was a popular play just after World War II and then was filmed in the 1950s. It's about a well-meaning US Army Lieutenant in Okinawa, who is somewhat of a misfit in the service. He is given the job of carrying out the Pentagon plan for reconstruction for a small village there after the war. He is given a rogue of a native interpreter to help, but the people and interpreter have their own ideas about what's good for them. Along the way he is given a Geisha girl, which adds to the confusion. There are many subtle witicisms and body language communicates even more, which helps as there are two languages. He comes to understand their point of view and adapts to what they want of him. They value his kindness, fairness and abilities. It is a humorous look at cultural views and interaction, sometimes with misunderstanding, but how with good will people can work together for a positive outcome. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/98953040-teahouse-of-the-august-moon-the-1956](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/98953040-teahouse-of-the-august-moon-the-1956) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
