What happens

Escapade in Japan is a 1957 American family adventure film. It was directed by Arthur Lubin and starred Teresa Wright, Cameron Mitchell, Jon Provost and Roger Nakagawa. It also featured an early (and uncredited) appearance of Clint Eastwood as a pilot. Lubin said "I think that Escapade probably ranks in my own opinion as fine of a picture as The Phantom of the Opera" although it suffered at the box office because Universal refused to promote it.
