Toshiro Mifune the constant badass that he is, earns his right to train to become a samurai.
Color color and color and set design bring Samurai ear Japan to life.
Really interesting Noir from Nicholas Ray.
It's sort of the Dusk till Dawn of it's day. It's a picture of two distinct halves.
The first a police film.
The second a chase.
It's easy to see why this film, with it's early use of hand held camera was an inspiration for the French new wave.
As Godard said "Nicholas Ray is cinema"
