Greatest Judo Fight Ever Filmed
Gli appassionati di judo possono essere inconsapevoli che una delle più grandi battaglie Judo mai pellicola si è verificato in un film da 1945, Blood on the Sun (link di affiliazione). James Cagney, che era una cintura marrone di Judo, stelle nel film come Nick Condon, un editor giornale americano per il Chronicle Tokyo prima del bombardamento di Pearl Harbor.
A few Japanese government officials are trying to warn the Americans about the upcoming attack, while the military is trying to keep the attack secret. Director Frank Lloyd did a good job of showing the tension between the civilian and military authorities prior to World War II.
Condon gains possession of the secret plans, which the police and military are determined to retrieve. It results in one of the best judo fights on film between Condon and Capt. Oshima, portrayed by John Halloran. I don’t know if Halloran had Judo training or if Cagney taught him for the film but the end result is one of the best depictions of Judo in a film.

Il film scorre circa 90 verbale. After you watch this film, The Judo Saga (1942) by Akira Kurosawa is another great judo film.
The Motion Picture Academy awarded an Oscar for Best Art Direction in a Black and White film to Blood on the Sun. The Cagney brothers collaborated on the film as it was a William Cagney Productions film.
