Made in Japan


That statement is repeated at least twice in the movie.
Concerning a joke about the prop Devil Bat.
I did not know that phrase went back that far(1940).

I suspect it might have been the very first time. "Made In Japan" products flooding the U. S. market was more a thing of the post-World War II era, after Japan revamped its industries and become a major exporter. It wasn't a major exporter before the war.
