Credited as the first Hollywood movie filmed entirely in Japan, "Tokyo File 212" (1951) takes a communist conspiracy plot and turns it into a chilling crime drama. Brothers Dorrell and Stuart McGowan, the screenwriting team behind the Western series "Death Valley Days" (1952-75), co-directed this Korean War-set spy melodrama, which stars Lee Frederick as American secret agent Jim Carter and Florence Marly as femme fatale Steffi Novac.
