Re: A made for TV movie about a Japanese farm family.

The title of this film, "Hot Summer Winds", made it somewhat hard to find. A different title, maybe something like "The Hired Hand" would have been easier. I think this title was taken by another...

Re: A made for TV movie about a Japanese farm family.

Thank you KEVP. The more I think about it, the more I question my memory. It's likely that I got the time frame wrong and I did indeed see this movie in the early 90s. I watched a different movie in...

Thank you wositelec, the story line is exactly the same as the movie I'm thinking of. There are some differences, perhaps I don't remember as well as I thought. Could this have been released around...

Re: A made for TV movie about a Japanese farm family.

Wositelec, I don't think I got it wrong. Obviously 1970 was 54 years ago. We'll see how things turn out, my friend.

No, not snow falling on cedars. That was not a made for TV movie and it was released in the 1990, I believe.

Re: A made for TV movie about a Japanese farm family.

No, it's not "Koya no toseinin". The movie I'm thinking of is set in the states. The actors all spoke English.

Re: A made for TV movie about a Japanese farm family.

Yes, the entire family was Japanese and the hand was white. I don't remember what they grew. As far as a genre, I guess you would call it a drama. Does anyone have any ideas?
