The Flower is not False (1941)
Directed by Hideo Oba
Overview
Hana wa itsuwarazu (1941) is the second directorial work by Shochiku’s Oba Hideo. Oba had previously worked as an assistant director to Shimizu Hiroshi and penned films for Shimazu Yasujiro. In this early effort, he is not stylistically very far from either, but then again all Shochiku directors resemble each other to a point. The film is an everyday romance for younger audiences, full of clean, ideal human beings.
