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. Yasumoto rebels in numerous ways, but Red Beard proves a wise and patient teacher.

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.
