Secret Agent flms

[faith]

if you want to go back this far, there were quite a few spy films during the war -- eg, Kancho Imada Shisezu (The Spy Isn't Dead Yet, 1942) and Kaisen no Zen'ya (Eve of War, 1943, both still available) -- about anglo-american infiltrators and their lackeys attempting to sabotage japanese military objectives like pearl harbor.  these and others of the genre are treated in Peter B. High's Imperial Screen, p.442 ff.

Dear Kine Japan,

I am compiling a list of Japanese films (and television shows, secondarily) with a secret agent, spy, or James Bond-type narrative (espionage, international intrigue, etc.).  I am fanning out from the recent Oda Yuji films Amalfi and Andalusia, as well as the accompanying Daikoukan Kuroda TV series.

If anyone has suggestions, I would greatly appreciate their taking the time to write.

Many thanks,
Mike Dillon
