Seven Nights in Japan

Seven Nights in Japan... the boredom was unbearable after the first night. I had to give this film 1 star... not because it is utterly dreadful ( which it is), but because it has an unrealistically high rating from other reviewers who are either being extremely kind, they were extras in the film, or Michael York has numerous troll accounts..!? No spoilers in my review, if there were, it would be like admitting there is a plot worth spoiling... and there is'nt !

The main story, of a British prince running away and, by accident, becoming involved with a lovely and naive Japanese tour guide, is enchanting and lovely. There is a subplot concerning a bunch of loony patriots bent on assassinating the prince. This should have added an element of excitement and tension. Instead, it looks like what it is - a lame add-on to pad the film out to feature length. This subplot adds absolutely nothing to the film, and only properly intersects to story at one point. Pity. But don't let this put you off. This film is a sheer delight for any man who finds Asian women lovely, as well as anyone who is a sucker for romance and the lure of the exotic. Warmly recommended.

Allegedly based on another Prince, "Seven Nights in Japan", the story of Prince George should not disappoint fans of romantic cinema. The actress that plays the Princes love interest (Sumi) is sweet and beautiful and Michael York is in his prime. Highlights include Sumi singing Japanese love songs as a bus tour guide and the beautiful country locales. A gentle, elegant film.

I Happened to see this movie in my class 3.I watched this movie in an open air theater at pune air force station. A very remarkable movie that even today i could remember some glimpses of it. A good movie to remember. The Hero is a British Prince who escapes and lands in japan meets a guide and falls in love with her.The song the heroine sings in the bus is very very good.Our hero daily gets into the bus to see her finally persuades her to love him. The seventh day he is traced and is taken back. The love dies.The Actors have done a pretty good job and I would suggest every one has to keep a collection in their movie library.

Obviously based on the exploits of Prince Charles when he was in the Royal Navy.This is a pleasant sightseeing tour of Japan with a slight romantic plot and a rather silly sub plot involving attempted assassination. It was good to see such stalwart character actors as Peter Jones and Charles Grey.Lewis Gilbert had a long and successful career but this was not one of his better films.
