Slow pace and too long routines for moments, but it has other great 'reduction to absurd', naif provocative gags (insinuations of a erotic symbolic world for children with geishas). Literal japanese abstraction, with paternal feelings.

Marlon Brando Was Mentioned In... (15 person items)

" In a direct reference to Joshua Logan's hit 1957 movie Sayonara, when meeting Kimi for the first time, Jerry states, "You're beautiful...I can understand now why Marlon Brando dug this place."."
