6 Reviews. Hide Spoilers. Sort by: Filter by Rating: Unusual and pleasant service comedy. gerdeen-1 3 April 2012. Comedies about U.S. troops in occupied Japan were kind of a subgenre in the 1950s. Many of them were as much sentimental as funny, and that's true of "Joe Butterfly." It's far from hilarious but gives you a warm feeling.
