    Written by John Chard on Sun Sep 30 2018
    You know what the army do with an agent found behind enemy lines. Warning: Spoilers House of Bamboo is directed by Sam Fuller who also co-writes with Harry Kleiner. It stars Robert Ryan, Robert Stack, Shirley Yamaguchi and Cameron Mitchell. It's a CinemaScope production with colour by De Luxe, with photography by Joseph MacDonald. Leigh Harline scores the music and the film is a loose remake of The Street with No Name (1948), where Kleiner & MacDonald were also involved. The film is exclusively shot on location in Japan. Tokyo, 1954, and an underworld outfit of American ex-servicemen...
