  World War Two had ended in Europe but still raged across the wide Pacific. And in a string of armed encampments within the US indigenous Japanese Americans remained incarcerated in prison camps imprisoned for the duration solely on the basis of their ethnic origin. Racial hatred was rife against all ethnic Japanese an American phenomenon misdirected against their own in the wake of Pearl Harbour. All of this was still at a fever pitch when in June of 1945 two months before VJ Day James Cagney through the production company he owned with his brother William produced and starred in Blood on the Sun one of the most powerful films to try to explain exactly how the Japanese 'Co-Prosperity Sphere' came into mortal conflict with the United States. Based on historical fact this rivetting brutal action-packed motion picture traces the unintended unveiling of the dreaded Tanaka Plan for Japanese world domination of which the 'Co-Prosperity Sphere' was the outpictured faade.

A beautiful Japanese secret agent played by Sylvia Sidney is sent to romance and ensnare Cagney and every thuggish stop is pulled out to retrieve the plan and prevent him from surviving long enough to get it to the American Embassy and into the world press.

• Witchouse 2 | DVD | (03/05/2010) from £13.48   |  Saving you £-0.49 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  She can't (and won't) drive 55.... Stephen King's novel about the twisted love affair between a boy and his car gets transferred to the screen, courtesy of suspense master John Carpenter. Although lacking some of the more outré supernatural elements of the source material, this high-octane cinematic tune-up more than delivers the goods, horror-wise (Christine's midnight rampages will never be forgotten)--as well as being a sly exposé of the random cruelties within the high-school pecking order. Keith Gordon (who has gone on to become a stellar director in his own right, with films such as A Midnight Clear and Mother Night to his credit) gives a wonderfully controlled central performance. Carpenter's atmospheric original score is backed up by a well-chosen collection of rock classics, including George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone" (the titular character's all-too-apt theme song). --Andrew Wright
