Prisoner of Japan, the 1942 Arthur Ripley & Edgar Ulmer World War II (WWII) South Pacific tropical island military propaganda melodrama ("They foiled the beasts of Nippon and found the secret weapon that was dooming American convoys."; set on a small tropical island in the South Pacific, and two Americans there discover a Japanese agent has a short wave radio that he is using to help the Japanese attack American ships) starring Gertrude Michael, Alan Baxter, Ernst Deutsch (billed as "Introducing Ernest Dorian"), Corinna Mura, and Tom Seidel. Note that the behind-the-scenes information about this movie is far more interesting than the movie itself! It is based on a story by Edgar Ulmer, and supposedly he produced and co-directed it, but if so, he was completely uncredited and it has not been confirmed. More interesting is the "Japanese" agent, who is played by Ernst Deutsch. He was a noted German stage and screen actor who was born in 1890, and in 1933, he fled Germany because he had some Jewish ancestry. He worked in Europe for several years before settling in the U.S. in 1938. He appeared in several movies in minor roles, and then he was hired to be the main bad guy in this movie, which is incredibly odd, because the bad guy is Japanese, and Deutsch was German! They renamed him "Ernest Dorian", and put "introducing" on the posters, which was ridiculous. He went on to play many German villains in World War II movies, and had a significant role in The Third Man. After that, he returned to Germany and passed away in 1969 at the age of 78.

Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THIS LOT CONTAINS 10 STILLS, BUT ONLY FOUR OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED! THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 10 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE, and NOT just the four pictured! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made no effort to find the best four stills in the lot, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing four of the stills.

Note that on our larger lots of black and white stills (ones with nine or more in the lot), there are a small number of lots where there may be one or several duplicated stills in the stills not pictured (we only picture four of the stills on most of the black and white lots). We tried to note when some of the stills not pictured were duplicates to the ones that were pictured, but we may not have caught that every time, so please do not bid on the lots of nine or more stills unless you can accept the possibility that there may be some duplicated stills contained in the lot.
