20th Century-Fox Dynamo (February 1960)

Secretly married, "Sabby”, the Japanese teacher, (Yoko Tani, left) and her RAF pilot-husband (Dick Bogarde), on their honeymoon, go on a happy sight-seeing tour of India. Here they are pictured in the beautiful gardens of the Taj Mahal (center, background), famous white marble mausoleum considered one of the ''seven wonders of the world.” Miss Tani, after singing and dancing appearances at European night-clubs, went on to become a stage and screen star. She starred in the Paris stage presentation of *'Teahouse Of The August Moon”. Bogarde, out- standing international screen and stage star, will be remembered for his film triumphs in "Hunted”, "Appointment In London” and "Simba”. In featured roles in "The Wind Cannot Read”, based on Richard Mason’s novel and directed by Ralph Thomas, are Ronald Lewis, John Fraser and Anthony Bushell. Moving Portrayals By Dick Bogarde And Delightful Newcomer , Yoki Tani THE WIND CANNOT READ A Love Story That Is As Tender As “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing” Not since “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing” and “Three Coins In The Fountain” has this company had on its program as beautiful a love story as is revealed in the Betty E. Box-Ralph Thomas production, “The Wind Cannot Read.” This is motion picture entertainment at its loveliest, and in color. The beautiful romance between a young RAF pilot and a pretty Japanese girl is echoed by a passage in a Japanese poem: “Though ... it is written ‘Don’t pluck these blossoms’, it is useless ... for the wind cannot read.” The story is a meeting between East and West, but it is a bitter-sweet meeting between the young Englishman stationed in India and the girl who teaches him Japanese at a military school for interrogators of prisoners of war. They are idyllically happy. They secretly marry, but are soon separated when he is ordered to a forward battle area where he is captured in a Japanese ambush. Eventually he escapes and, after crossing savage desert country, tormented by heat and thirst, he reaches Delhi to find his wife dangerously ill in a hospital. Only then he learns the secret of the strange fear he had glimpsed in her eyes, a realization that brings their joy to an immensely moving climax. Starring Dick Bogarde as Lieut. Quinn, “The Wind Cannot Read” introduces a new personality in pretty Yoko Tani who plays Suzuki San, lovingly called “Sabby” because “sabishii” is Japanese for sad, and there is something about her that spells sadness. Born in Paris, the daughter of a Japanese embassy attache, Yoko (meaning “child of the ocean” in Japanese) returned to the French capital in 1950 after a formal education in Tokyo. In Paris she studied singing and danc- ing, later toured the Scandinavian countries with a ballet company and made her professional singiflg debut in a cabaret.

This serialization, which covers a five-day period, will be available for alert, promotion-minded exhibitors in either cut or matrix form, in eight, seven or five-column widths. The reader will note that the fifth strip carries a “teaser” box in the last panel. However, if the exhibitor so chooses, he could substitute the actual finish of the screenplay instead of the reprinted text, if the newspaper insists on a definite conclusion for the story.
