Somewhere I read about this Japanese filmmaker and requested my library order it.
Ellen, my sister, is playing the film on her lap top for me.

The line from the actress was, "Oh, sukiyaka, I'd like some too."

"He had me so frightened."

Although not among Mizoguchi's best-known works, Osaka Elegy continues to be acclaimed by critics.
