Audience Reviews for Blood on the Sun
(1945) Blood On The Sun
THRILLER/ WAR ESPIONAGE
Before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, some American newspaper men working in Japan knew about the attack before it even happened, this is one of those stories! Using fictional characters that may be based on fact, James Cagney stars as Nick who somehow gets caught in the middle of all of this when some close friends are mysteriously killed because of their involvement, to prevent leaking information out- from the invasion of China to the planned attack to the United States of America!
Seems somewhat historical in a fictionize way, this film was also known for James Cagney's getting his black belt as judo/ karate martial artist and it really shows! His brother William Cagney produced it so it kind of makes sense!
The copy I watched it had a bad recording transfer but I was still be able to make it out!
