Viewing Notes

Second film in my Thanksgiving Kurosawa project. Passed up viewing this a few times both from borrows and TCM. Wish I would have seen this on the big screen during the Mifune/Kurosawa tour. I like this movie a lot but think it would have a bigger impact in theater. The last quarter is quite excellent.
