“My country goes greatly wrong. I cannot face my good friend America anymore, so I had to die. Please bury me quietly.”

The final indignity heaped upon Mr. Satos is the sub-headline: ‘Jap Ends Life…”. Few Americans would even admit to its international crimes, let alone take personal responsibility. I cannot help but feel great respect for you. And loss.

I looked up “Juke Girl” in IMDB expecting to find it was from the bottom of the barrel. Wrong! It’s Warner Brothers. The stars are Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan (with lots of familiar character actors). it was directed by Curtis Bernhardt, and A.I. Bezzerides is one of the writers.
