Comedy about the cultural give-and-take of an American ballplayer (Yankee, for extra emphasis) on a Japanese team. And directed -- from a neutral corner -- by an Australian, Fred Schepisi. Lightweight, predictable, cautiously diplomatic -- though a lot of documentary data, or at any rate travelogue data, gets crammed into the wide-screen long shots. Tom Selleck, Ken Takakura, Aya Takanashi. (1992) — Duncan Shepherd
