Quote:
"The Tivoli also shows an excellent picture of the Japanese, giving an insight into the fanaticism and self-abnegation of the Nipponese. The Mask of Nippon was distributed by the National Film Board, Ottawa, under auspices of the director of public information. It is thus a propaganda film, but one forgets this as the spiritual backgrounds of Japan's rise to a modern power is pictured. The film was taken in Japan and it might be interesting to know how the National Film Board obtained it, for it reveals the whole story of a nation preparing to grasp at world domination."
-- Saskatoon Star-Phoenix [1942]
