Interracial romance, labor agitation, the internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War -- two hours plus of harsh penance for Americans, prescribed by the Englishman Alan Parker (Mississippi Burning). Richly produced, handsomely photographed -- and Tamlyn Tomita, as the Nisei who defies her father and accepts the attentions of a white man, is most winning, despite having to play the additional role of elementary educator: "And then Mr. Roosevelt signed the Executive Order number nine-oh-six-six" and "In nine tiny seconds, two hundred thousand people were killed." With Dennis Quaid. (1990) — Duncan Shepherd
