Prewar jidaigeki starring Denjiro Okochi
Kinshiro takes over the family, but he thinks he is going to replace the son of his stepmother but runs into trouble when he befriends the yakuza.
1930s Japanese film.
Final installment of the Okochi / Arai / Yamanaka Mito Komon series and just as good as the others (a good deal longer, as well). Again, this film like the other two is similar in tone and spirit to the Yamanaka Tange Sazen film and would appeal to fans of that film.
Japanese historical film.
Adaptation of the novel by Osaragi Jirō. Again scripted by the legendary Yamanaka Sadao
