Yamamoto Kikuo's massive Nihon eiga ni okeru gaikoku eiga no eikyo 
(Waseda Shuppan) covers dozens and dozens of Japanese films that were 
influenced by American films in terms of both plot and style.

For more recent research on a specific example, Minaguchi Kiseko has an 
article in English on Yamamoto Satsuo's Haha no kyoku, which is a 
remake of Stella Dallas. Minaguchi goes into some detail on the 
differences between the versions. The article is in Iconics vol. 6 
(2002).
