Behind the Rising Sun, the 1943 Edward Dmytryk World War II (WWII) anti-Japanese military propaganda melodrama ("From the Pages of Life of James R. Young's Startling Book"; "From the Pages of Life of James R. Young's Amazing Book"; "They're worse than killers! They torture helpless men and women! They make slaves of children! They sell their own daughters! They make war even on babies! They manhandle captive women!"; "Jap brutes manhandling helpless women - by official proclamation!...That's 'honor' among the 'Sons of Heaven', who sell their own daughters into gilded Geisha palaces! Who wage war even on babies, and who teach torture and treachery as national virtues!"; "See the secret Jap threat to everything we hold dear... In the sensational picture that tells the whole truth about the 'Sons of Heaven'... Exposing their awful ambitions even more ruthlessly than 'Hitler's Children' bared the shame of the Nazis."; "They call themselves the 'Sons of Heaven' - yet here are some of the things they do: SELL their own daughters into gilded Geisha palaces! TREAT captive women with unspeakable barbarity! COMMIT cruel acts of war against even babes in arms! TORTURE helpless prisoners until they're ready to say or do ANYTHING! DRIVE children to slave labor under the lash of hunger! - and more, and more, and MORE!"; "It's all in the picture that exposes the Japs even more ruthlessly than 'Hitler's Children' bared the shame of the Nazis!"; "Know the worst about the Japs!"; "- and it's TERRIBLE!... Much, much worse than you could imagine!... Sensational scenes that will make you mad enough to want to smash them with your bare fists!"; "Know the shocking truth about the Japs!... See it all in the sensational expose of what they want and how they're trying to get it"; "The picture that makes you mad enough to fight!") starring Margo, Tom Neal, J. Carrol Naish, Robert Ryan, Gloria Holden, and Donald Douglas (billed as "Don Douglas"). Note that this movie was made when much of the U.S. was virulently anti-Japanese after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the advertising for the movie and the movie itself contained many offensive Japanese stereotypes and taglines.
