Wikipedia articleis a 1935 black and white Japanese comedy film directed by Sadao Yamanaka and starring Denjir kchi. Cast* Denjir kchi: Tange Sazen * Kiyozo: Ofuji * Kunitaro Sawamura: Genzaburo Yagyu * Reisaburo Yamamoto: Yokichi * Minoru Takase: Shigeju * Ranko Hanai: Ogino StoryA man gives an old pot to his brother, not realizing there is a treasure map inside. His sister-in-law sells the pot to a junk dealer, who in turn sells it to a boy named Yasu. A cast of colorful characters are all looking for this pot, and when the child runs away after being chided by Ogino, everyone goes after him. The end, however, is covered in disappointment - the hope of each character that their world will get better is each individually crushed, in a humorous manner. ReceptionMark Schilling of 'The Japan Times' noted that the film was "universally considered the best of all the Tange Sazen lot." References | |
