The Ugly American (1963)

An intelligent, articulate scholar, Harrison MacWhite, survives a hostile Senate confirmation hearing at the hands of conservatives to become ambassador to Sarkan, a southeast Asian country where civil war threatens a tense peace. Despite his knowledge, once he's there, MacWhite sees only a dichotomy between the U.S. and Communism. He can't accept that anti-American sentiment might be a longing for self-determination and nationalism. So, he breaks from his friend Deong, a local opposition leader, ignores a foreman's advice about slowing the building of a road, and tries to muscle ahead. What price must the country and his friends pay for him to get some sense?

It's been awhile since I've seen this, but it popped into mind upon hearing about gun sales increasing in the States. I figure we're in for some tough times ahead, and there won't be any shortage of desperate people out there. Somehow, I hope people will remain calm and weather well the coming storm.

Brando is excellent, as is Okada (notwithstanding his Japanese ethnicity) as the two old friends find themselves on opposing political sides - both right, both wrong

Great look at the ideology of American foreign policy on the brink of the Vietnam War after the Korean War. True, it counts on the audience sharing a fear of communists, but looking back, we can now really value the arguments stated by the other side.

I think that the political agenda got tangled in the plot of this film, and neither came off the better. It becomes difficult to decipher whether it condemns the actions of the Americans, or those of the State, or the invadng Communist forces. Neither does it fully allow the viewer to assess the actions to Brando's ambassador. There are fair performances by all cast members, but all are working against a current.

Englund's direction fails to spark any excitement in the audience, but Brando's volatile and passionately emotional performance keeps the film afloat. An interesting enough story and impressive enough acting that I would say this is a must-see for any Brando fan.
