Sayonara is a 1957 color (Technicolor) American film starring Marlon Brando. The picture tells the story of an American Air Force flier who was an ace fighter pilot during the Korean War.
Sayonara won four Academy Awards, including acting honors for co-stars Red Buttons and Miyoshi Umeki.
The film's screenplay was adapted by Paul Osborn from the novel by James Michener, and was produced by William Goetz and directed by Joshua Logan. Unlike most 1950s romantic dramas, Sayonara deals squarely with racism and prejudice. The supporting cast also features Patricia Owens, James Garner, Martha Scott, Ricardo Montalban, and Miiko Taka.
Major Lloyd "Ace" Gruver (Marlon Brando), the son of a U.S. Army general, is stationed at Itami Air Force Base near Kobe, Japan. He falls in love with a Japanese entertainer, Hana-ogi (Miiko Taka), who is a performer for a Takarazuka-like theater company, whom he meets through his enlisted crew chief, Airman Joe Kelly (Red Buttons).
Joe is about to wed a Japanese woman, Katsumi (Miyoshi Umeki), in spite of the disapproval of the United States military, which will not recognize the marriage. The Air Force, including Ace, is against the marriage. Ace and Joe have an argument during which Ace uses a racial slur to describe Katsumi. Ace eventually apologizes, then agrees to be Joe's best man at the wedding.

Keywords: based-on-novel, ghostMy interrogator leaves me threatened
Only when he asks one question like,
What happens when the box stops ticking?
I'm in no state to tell
Don't feel bad (I've got no guts)
This is the part when all deflections cease to amuse you
Maybe we should call it off and blackout like we always seem to
No one except for me gets in my head
I'm surprised you ever thought you could
Don't take it the wrong way
It's just the way I operate
How can I put it so you'll understand?
There's no end to everything that is
No single thought, emotion or thing you've lost
No word or touch or love that feels dead and gone
We are two blind Alpha wolves
Pouring out from a red light
Both worthy of this good fight
Over all the things that remain under the breath of all the others
No one except for me gets in my head
I'm surprised you ever thought you could
Don't take it the wrong way
It's just the way I operate
How can I put it so you'll understand?
There's no end to everything that is
No single thought, emotion or thing you've lost
No word or touch or love that feels dead and gone
The woods seem so much darker when
The moon is being pulled by something
But the sun is there
But the sun is near
