The revelation that he is married proves deeply challenging to his mother (K Callan) and his childhood girlfriend, Naomi (Elena Wohl), despite support from his father (Wayne Tippit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>Machiko finds it difficult to integrate with a racist local called Rusty (Patrick Massett) causing particular problems. Naomi only adds to her challenge with some malicious bad advice, before a confrontation with her new mother-in-law leads her to take a particularly poor decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Americanization of Machiko<\/em> was directed by Gilbert M.
