Pauline Kael called it a long, uneven, fascinating film, she prefers a french version

directed by Georges Lampin in 1946 but, Netflix does not carry it (darn).

I hope you enjoy the Kurosawa version though I doubt you will gain more insight to the book, it really seemed rather straightforword to me, but was very nice and a classic story (as you well know).

Absolutely and a strong agreement on the unjustly unfamous, "Red Beard." - tinear 07:53:43 10/06/11 (1)

Even though Red Beard is predictable the trip to get there is so subtle - PhilJ 17:47:56 10/07/11 (0)
