"Tokyo Joe" is a 1949 film directed by Stuart Heisler and starring Humphrey Bogart, Florence Marly and Sessue Hayakawa. It was filmed in Tokyo, Japan.

Plot

After World War II, ex-serviceman Joe Barrett (Humphrey Bogart) returns to Tokyo, to see if there's anything left of his bar after all the bombing. Amazingly, it is more or less intact and being run by his old friend Ito (Teru Shimada). He is also shocked to learn from Ito that his wife Trina (Florence Marly), whom he thought had died in the war, is in fact still very much alive. She has remarried, to American diplomat Mark Landis (Alexander Knox), and has a seven-year-old child, Joe's daughter Anya (Lora Lee Michel).

Barrett starts up an air freight business. One of his customers, underworld boss Baron Kimura (Sessue Hayakawa), wants him to smuggle war criminals for him. When he balks, Kimura kidnaps Anya. Barrett rescues her and foils the Baron's plot.
