Highly Recommend This Movie. It's Been Nearly 80 Years Since His Death and Although He Is Known For Planning an Infamous Attack, He Had Wanted Peace

Interesting! I thought perhaps you had stumbled across this one:

Judgment: The Court Martial of the Tiger of Malaya - General Yamashita

A 1974 TV movie, I think it was broadcast over two days.

(See https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0140745/)

This is not highly rated in the IMDB, but I liked it at the time, and this trial ultimately resulted in the creation of the precedent known as the "Yamashita standard", incorporating into the US Code the notion of command responsibility.

(which apparently miscites the case as "317 US 1", when it should be "327 US 1" [or, more fully, "327 US 1 (1946)"])

Have not seen the movie about General Yamashita. The TV version of MacArthur has a segment about Yamashita's trial and eventual execution.

I also recommend, "The Reluctant Admiral," an excellent biography on Yamamoto by Hiroyuki Agawa, published in 1979.

@beckyromero Interesting! Thanks!
