The Swordsman And The Actress
Directed by: SASAKI Yasushi
Cast: MISORA Habari, OTOMO Ryutaro, AZUMA Chiyonosuke
In one of Toei's best early period films famous actress Koharu, played by Misora Hibari in one of her strongest roles, becomes involved in the search for the Shogun's treasure.
Meanwhile a master swordsman, portrayed by the great Otomo Ryutaro, fights gallantly with two swords. In addition to Misora's strong performance, there is surprisingly good swordplay by another lady with martial skills in this highly entertaining mixture of action, adventure, love, betrayal, music, and with the slightest touch of humor.
It's no wonder the stars of this film are still so popular in Japan to this very day!
