Reprising his role as a wandering former samurai simply known as 'The Lowly
Ronin', Mifune Toshiro shines in this excellent made for TV movie.
When he helps an orphaned teenage girl avoid being turned into a prostitute, she then claims he is her
father and they start a farm as father and daughter until fate steps in and he must draw his sword.
As with the other episodes in this series, Mifune's swordsmanship is impeccable and as with his feature films, there is a particular move he does which is simply unique and sensational.
A great story featuring some of the best work in Mifune's illustrious career.
