Overview

Aspiring to an easy job as personal physician to a wealthy family, Noboru Yasumoto is disappointed when his first post after medical school takes him to a small country clinic under the gruff doctor Red Beard.

Another Kurosawa film from my library. So glad I can easily get my hands on these. Really like this film. Mifune is excellent as usual.
