I’m trying to find a movie that my friend watched as a teenager. The movie was set on a farm on an island off the coast of Washington state. A Japanese/American family hired a farm hand to work for them. The hand ended up having an affair with the farmer’s wife. He entertained the 2 kids by doing such things as listening to a radio station on his comb. I believe this film came out around 1970.
Based on two short stories by Hisaye Yamamoto this play details the domestic tension between an illiterate Japanese immigrant farmer and his educated wife in 1930s California . I think that it could have earlier version. Unfortunately, I didn’t find.
