The Wandering Princess

A Japanese woman is chosen to marry the younger brother of the “puppet” Emperor of Manchuria during that region’s occupation by Japan in the 1930s and early 1940s. Machiko Kyo stars in this characteristically complex tale of female hardship, thwarted desire, arranged marriage and the yoke of imperial male power. It develops into a tragic romantic drama of star-crossed lovers as Japan loses the war.
