Appointment in Tokyo is a 1945 propaganda film released shortly after the surrender of Japan. It mainly follows General MacArthur and his men from their exile from the Philipines in early 1942, through the signing of the instrument of surrender on the USS Missouri on Septimber 1, 1945.
The film is notable for its discusion of the problems MacArthur face in Australia after the conquest of the Philipines, the American militaries "hit'em where they ain't" strategy through the Solomons and Papua New Guinea, and especially the footage from the reconquest of the Philipines, including of Leyte Gulf, the Battle of Manila, and the rescue of American and Philipino POWs from Japanese prison camps.
