A Girl Named Tamiko (1962) is a drama film directed by John Sturges, filmed in Technicolor and Panavision, and released by Paramount Pictures.
Ivan Kalin (Laurence Harvey) is a Eurasian photographer who is trapped in Japan, but who wants to emigrate to the United States.
His visa is continually delayed, which causes him to use his charm with women to pull some strings and apply some pressure on the embassy. His romantic magnetism works on a thrill-seeking American (Martha Hyer) and an aristocratic Japanese woman (France Nuyen).
"He was half Oriental...but he used the women of two continents WITHOUT SHAME OR GUILT!"
