On this day in 1956, M-G-M released the controversial TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON. Directed by DANIEL MANN and based on the hit Broadway play of the same name, this film featured stand-out  performances by GLENN FORD and MARLON BRANDO. Never ‘politically correct’, the movie still managed to captivate audiences. Also featured are LAURENCE HARVEY, GLORIA GRAHAME, RICHART BASEHART, JOAN COLLINS, JOHN IRELAND and ROBERT MORLEY.
