Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Originally released in Germany as Bis Zum Ende Aller Tage, this film stars Chinese actress Akiko in the title role. Helmut Griem plays a German sailor on leave in Hong Kong who falls in love with Akiko. Despite her questionable past, Griem marries her and brings her home. When Griem's family gives her a chilly reception, Akiko sadly decides that it would be best to quietly exit her husband's life. Though it looks a like lot the old British chestnut Waterloo Bridge, it was actually based on Heinrich Hauser's novel Brackwasser.
