Quote:
It was directed by Sotoji Kimura, a completely obscure, yet fairly successful Shochiku director, who by account on his few films that are available today apparently was associated with the 1930’s jun-bungaku (“pure literature”) movement, an attempt to strengthen the reputation of Japanese cinema by translating reputable high-brow literature for the screen.

Nikkatsu finally responds to Suzuki’s growing discontentment by giving him a bigger budget and a better script. This episodic collection of “real coast guard action stories” was the perfect vehicle for Koji Wada. Whatever negative press he had received for Tokyo Knights was quickly forgotten.

He became the new “teen star.” And Suzuki: “the director to watch.”

Quote:
It’s the first film adaptation of Natsumi Soseki’s novel “I Am a Cat”, but I was a little disappointed when I saw it with high expectations, because it’s less than 90 minutes long and there’s no monologue about the cat, so it’s just me in the middle of the human drama. Before that, there are only a few scenes in which I appear.

The world situation at the time of the Russo-Japanese War has been replaced by that of World War I (the attack on Qingdao is shown in a newspaper article. However, since it was filmed before the war, the scenery has a certain feel to it. This atmosphere is something you can’t get in a postwar film.

Director Yamamoto is a prewar master, but after the war there are many program pictures and it may be more appropriate today to call him “Akira Kurosawa’s teacher”.

Sadao Maruyama also played Yamaarashi in “Botsu-chan” directed by Yamamoto the year before. He died the day after the end of the war after being exposed to the atomic bombing in Hiroshima while leading the Cherry Blossom Corps (Sakura Corps) in a theatrical tour.

This film depicts the delicate relationship between Keiko, who was born an illegitimate child and was regarded as a problem child at the mission school, and her teacher Mazaki, who understands her, and Hashimoto, a female teacher with whom he has a close relationship. One day, Keiko becomes pregnant, and rumors spread that the partner is Mazaki… A film that gave Toyoda Shiro the opportunity to show his talent in literary works.
